It's a FAMILY affair at Mill Mountain Zoo--
The snow leopard cubs are finally getting acquainted with their father.
(------------)
[VO-NAT]
[SUPER=03-Roanoke;]
Until last week, the young male and female had been hanging out only with their mom Tasha. Officials say most zoos in America keep cubs separate from their father for safety reasons and because that's how animals behave in the wild. But zoos in Europe typically allow snow leopard families to live together. So, Mill Mount followed suit.
All four snow leopards are on display daily. Father Boris is then separated from the rest of the family at night.
