Baby snow leopards – level 2
The zoo in Richmond, which is the capital of Virginia, USA, has two new animals: one-month-old snow leopard cubs.
The cubs do not yet have names, and they were born to a mother who was raised by humans. Her maternal instincts, however, are turned on, and she is taking great care of her babies.
All of them are in a private den – the public must wait a few months to see them.
Snow leopards are an endangered species.
Difficult words: cub (the young of an animal like the leopard), den (an animal’s hidden home), endangered species (a type of animal which may die out soon).
