A completely white cougar was born. These are very touching shots (5 photos + 1 video)

At the Thomas Belt Zoo in Nicaragua (Central America) an albino cougar was born. The gender of the baby is still unknown. zoo veterinarian Carlos Molina told reporters that only four white cougars, and a brand new cub is one of them.





There are three kittens in the litter, the other two are beige with spots. Adult cougars are already spotless, their color is usually beige or brown. The mother and cubs are still kept in a sealed cage to protect her from stress and foreign odors.

If a mother confuses human smells with kitten smells, she can attack them. The father lives in a separate enclosure so that he does not hurt the kids. Visitors are going to show them when they turns three months old.



The white cub is healthy and eating well, the veterinarian said. He added that albino cougars are very sensitive to sunlight and require careful care.







Cougars live in a large area of North and South America. It is the fourth largest feline in the world and second in America; only a tiger, a lion and a jaguar are larger than it. Along with jaguarundi, cougars are the only American cats that are colored monophonic; hence the scientific name of this species Puma concolor ("plain").
