http://www.sfgate.com/news/us/article/Baby-ghost-cat-makes-its-Bronx-debut-12308397.phpNEW YORK (AP) A baby "ghost cat" is making the Bronx its new haunt.
The Wildlife Conservation Society's Bronx Zoo announced Thursday that the female snow leopard cub has made its public debut just in time for Halloween .
Snow leopards are sometimes called "ghost cats" because their pale grey coats allow them to easily blend into rocks and snow.
The cub hasn't been named yet. It is the second generation offspring of a famous snow leopard named Leo.
