This incredible footage reveals the precious moments after a snow leopard cub is born - the first to be born at one US zoo in over a decade.

Cameras placed inside the animals’ den show the mother snuggling and preening the tiny newborn, born weighing just 1.35lbs.

The male cub, which is yet to be named, is the offspring of five-year-old mother Misha and six-year-old father Blizzard.

It was one of two born to the parents at Sacramento Zoo in California, US, on May 6, but the second passed away a few days later.

Staff said initial exams indicate the weaker cub suffered severe birth defects including a cleft palate.
