Welsh Mountain Zoo: Rare snow leopard born in conservation triumph

A rare snow leopard cub has been born at a north Wales zoo, marking a success in the conservation of a species at risk of extinction in the wild.

The cub, which has not yet been named, is the first to be born at the Welsh Mountain Zoo in Colwyn Bay, Conwy, in a decade.

China, India, Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, and Pakistan are home to 75% of the world’s population of wild snow leopards.

Zookeepers have had a watchful eye on mum Padme and the cub in their den since the birth on 12 June, but visitors are now able to see them together for the first time.
