Snow leopard cub tries to sneak up on mama

Wild cats are best known for their fierce hunting skills. They catch their prey easily by attacking them by surprise. These amazing skills are in their DNA but practicing them every now and then will make them even better hunters.

This video from a zoo shows a snow leopard mommy that wants to teach her cute cub some tricks by letting him “attack” her. He is carefully watching every step she makes, and once she is all relaxed and pretending she is not looking at him lowering into a “pounce” position, he goes for it and makes the next step. He jumps at her and her reaction is pretty unexpected. She tries to “defend” herself by jumping high into the air. 

This is one-of-a-kind mommy-baby bonding that is adorable to watch!
