A cougar cub born at the end of November at Novosibirsk Zoo could be seen adapting to the wildlife park’s snowy conditions with its mother on Wednesday. Welcoming the cub during winter is rare since a female cougar in nature does not normally give birth during the cold winter months. Novosibirsk Zoo has accommodated cougars since 1967.

Footage provided courtesy of the Bronx Zoo shows the adorable first moments of a new female baby snow leopard cub playing with her mom on Thursday. The new cub, who is unnamed as of yet, was jumping all over her mom and playing with her tail as she was unveiled to the public for the first time.

A hungry and scared orphan elk calf wandered into a backyard of some residents in the Russian town of Bogotolski, who then alerted authorities.

The baby elk was named Nad and seems to be loving his new home.
Two extremely cute seal pups from Kaliningrad Zoo were reunited with wild nature on Wednesday after zookeepers brought the little animals in wooden shipping boxes to the water's edge on the southern coast of the Baltic Sea. The adorable cubs seemed confused at first as they began crawling around the boxes, but eventually dived into the water and appeared to be swimming strongly.
This trio of adorable newborn tiger cub triplets were filmed for the first time on Tuesday after being born at the Taigan Safari Park in Crimea. The Amur tiger cubs are mother Frosi’s first offspring, and she kept a protective eye on them as visitors were allowed to see them for the first time. According to her keeper, Frosi won’t even let the cubs’ father Felix come near them yet, and is feeding them herself – which is unusual for animals kept in captivity. Over the next two weeks, the cubs will begin to open their eyes and will start to get comfortable with seeing members of the public. Amur tigers were once found throughout the Russian Far East, northern China and the Korean peninsula, but were driven to the brink of extinction by hunting. Russia became the first country in the world to grant the tiger full protection. There were only about 400 Amur tigers in the wild when a census was taken in 2005, and researchers found that the population was declining. However, after a decade of intense conservation efforts, there are now over 550 adult Amur tigers in the wild and the numbers appear to be growing. The Amur tiger has been pushed back from the brink of extinction, for now, but careful conservation efforts must continue to protect this majestic species.
