The sweet slow-moving mammals have already captured hundreds of hearts on social media.
Moe and Lightning will enjoy some alone time to get to know each other and hang out behind the scenes for about two weeks, according to the zoo's Facebook post.
After that, Lightning will explore her new environment inside Discovery Forest alone for a couple days at which point Moe will join her.
Congrats to the happy couple!
