WATCH: Heart warming moment of a Snow Leopard mum and cub playing together
Updated | By Stacey & JSbu
A beautiful moment was captured by a hidden camera of a Snow Leopard mum and cub playing together at a park in China.
In this fantastic video, the pair are seen rolling around pawing at each other at the Beishan Forest Farm in the north-western Qinghai province. It's the sweetest thing ever seen.

This adorable video was stumbled upon by the Researchers at the Northwest Plateau Institute of Biology (NPIB) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences because they had to change the batteries on the infrared camera. Imagine! What a coincidence.
Watch full video below:
This footage will melt just about anyone's heart because of its significance.
This is the first time a Snow Leopard has been captured on camera at the park, and due to the elusive nature of the species, it is difficult to estimate how many are left in the wild.
The population of the rare species has been dwindling for a long time, but with that said this video shows that a family can survive in a park that welcomes 300,000 tourists a year.
