The tiny, brilliant white puma, with small pink nose is thought to be one of only four ever born
The young pumas are now being kept inside a sealed cage so the mother does not become stressed or confused of human odours with that of the newborn
Her mate is also being kept in a separate enclosure, as male pumas have been known to kill their young.
