AWWWWWW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Rare adorbs baby snow leopard was introduced to the public Monday!
During a media event, at the Chattanooga Zoo in Tenn. the cub was taken from her enclosure and weighed. She was five pounds and exactly 6 weeks old.
At five pounds now, someday she’ll grow nearly as big as her dad, Czar. Mom Casmere wasn’t outside today.
She is the first successful snow leopard breeding, but came with controversy.
Two of her siblings were found dead in the pen.
Long says all signs point to still-birth and not neglect.
But now that she is here she is the center of attention, a wide-eyed, curled-up fur ball doing what babies do.
“(They)sort of eat, sleep and wander around and be absolutely adorable.”
The cub doesn’t have a name yet. The zoo is asking for admissions from the public from now through Easter.
We think Teddy Junior has a nice ring to it!
