A hidden camera has captured the first glimpse of a rare snow leopard born at a zoo in the UK.

The cub is the first of its kind to be born at Chester Zoo in its 94-year history.

Zoo teams have been monitoring the cub and its first-time parents, Nubra, three, and Yashin, three, using a special den camera that captured adorable moments between the family.

The cub, born on 10 June, is growing in strength and confidence and could take its first steps outside at any moment, the zoo said.
