Every parent remembers the moment when they first learned whether their child was a boy or a girl. Animals are no different. Just take Strut, the beautiful Snow Leopard at the Great Plains Zoo, for instance.
He recently found out his newborn cub’s gender through a clever gender reveal enrichment activity that the zoo provided him with, and let’s just say his reaction left us speechless. You can watch this emotional moment in the video below.
At first, Strut wasn’t sure what to make of the massive box in his enclosure. Little did he know that inside this box was the answer to if he had recently become a boy dad or a girl dad.
Unsure of what to make of this box, Strut just stared at it long and hard for a good moment before he decided to take a peek inside.
Once he stuck his head in, his curiosity really began to take hold of him, and Strut became determined to get to the bottom of what was in the box.
As soon as he really got inside, he pulled his head out fast and did a double-take. He couldn’t believe what he was seeing. He looked around, seemingly wanting to ask, “Wait, does this mean what I think it means?”
He then stuck his head back in the box, before emerging from it with pink ribbons in his mouth. It turns out that Strut is a girl dad!
