The zoo said she was born to her mother Aurora and her father Lee.
In pictures shared by the zoo, the unnamed baby is nothing more than a tiny little dot compared to her mother.
Aurora and the newborn are going to remain in a private "denning area" until spring. The zoo says this isn't Aurora's first time as a mother. She's also had three other litters with three remaining cubs.
