As we can see all is well with Amur Leopard cub.

But sad news about Snow Leopard.
Copied from Tallinn Zoo site

http://www.loomaaed.ee/index.php?ide=20

On Satuday morning, the 30th of April, our snow leopard Mahnadi gave birth to a single cub. It was the first time for her to give birth. The delivery processed normally, the newborn cub was active and vigorous. The mother licked her cub clean, but she did not start nursing it. After a few hours she left the nest box. When five hours had passed from the birth, the cub was taken off to be hand-reared. The cub is female, with a birth weight of 475 g.

Mother Mahnadi will be watched and when it is sure she is fully recovered, she will join her mate in the other enclosure.

The cub, born to snow leopard Mahnadi at the end of April, died
3.5.2011

The snow leopard cub, born on the 30th of April, sadly did not survive and died on the early morning of the 3rd of May. According to the veterinarian of the zoo, the most obvious cause of death was birth trauma (hematomas in the brain and kidneys).

our little munchkin was taken to medical observation today!
no news about the gender and weight and such yet...
but someone said that people were talking sth like " boy, good boy..."


so sorry for that snow leopard cub!

The little one is male, very well fed, weighing three kilos.

There's a plan to put a rough tile on the floor of the nest to help the cub to stand on the back legs. Now the floor seems really slippery, but in the other hand - the puppy has been eating SO much, he's just SO fat...

It has been great to see how well the little boy is walking now.

Hello Macdoum!
There is another room where Darla gets food, Sometimes a cub goes there too, then Darla brings him back.
