Chester Zoo Shares 'Truly Historic' Moment as Adorable Snow Leopard Born - Liverpool Echo

On Tuesday June 10, 2025, Chester Zoo welcomed its first-ever snow leopard cub, marking a historic milestone in its 94-year history.
Under an international breeding programme, Nubra and Yashin were paired to secure a healthy insurance population of threatened snow leopards in leading zoos.
Hidden cameras captured a first glimpse of the cub in its den, and carnivore experts say at six-weeks-old, it has gained strength and could venture outside at any moment.
Dave Hall said, `It’s a truly historic moment,' while praising Nubra’s excellent maternal instincts.
Dr Mayukh Chatterjee described the partnership, adding that Chester Zoo is working with the Snow Leopard Trust and Kyrgyzstan to reduce human-wildlife conflict as snow leopards are vulnerable with around 4,000 remaining in the wild.
