The Cutest Snow Leopard Cub Taking His First Steps Outside: 'She needed mum Laila's help to be brave' (Video)

Before they become the fierce and spooky big cats that we know and love, big cats have to go through some awkward phases. And we don't make fun of them for it. When we see a baby black panther lose a battle against its momma's ear, or baby cheetahs get anxious to make friends with other cheetah cubs, or when we see a jaguar cub fiercely battle a man's shoe and lose… we don't make fun of them. No, we aww instead. 

Because, let's be honest, seeing big cats have their silly moments only makes us love them and want to pet them even more. Seeing them learn their crafts and ask their parents for help to go through certain obstacles… Somehow, they become even cuter to us, which we didn't even think was pawssible. But it is. And today, we've fallen in love with snow leopards just a little bit more than before.
