Baby Elsa On view at the London Zoo for the first time to-day is the female Puma cub Essa
Baby Elsa On view at the London Zoo for the first time to-day is the female Puma cub Essa. She was born to Lola and the father Sabre, on November 10th. Puma cubs, unlike their grey brown coated, parents, are spotted at birth, and these markings gradually fade as they grow older. Sabre the father was once the mascot of the Cougar Squadron of the Royal Canadian Air Force, which flew in Sabre jets. When he grew up however he took too great a liking for the cooks leg, so they sent him to the London Zoo. The strong gloved hands of Senior Head Keeper Jim Alldis held the baby, but it was a real handful with a youngster full of fire. January 1964 P007376

EDITORS COMMENTS
Introducing Baby Elsa, the adorable female Puma cub making her debut at the London Zoo today. Born on November 10th to proud parents Lola and Sabre, this little bundle of joy is stealing hearts with her playful nature and captivating spots. Unlike her grey-brown coated parents, Baby Elsa arrived into the world covered in beautiful markings that will gradually fade as she grows older. Her father, Sabre, has an intriguing history as he was once the beloved mascot of the Cougar Squadron in the Royal Canadian Air Force. Flying alongside Sabre jets, he captured attention wherever he went. However, his love for a cook's leg led him to find a new home at the London Zoo. Senior Head Keeper Jim Alldis carefully cradles this feisty cub in his strong gloved hands while she exudes boundless energy. It's no easy task handling such a spirited youngster!
