Just born, March 6th, at the Point Defiance Zoo Seattle/Tacoma. Two Clouded Leopards, 8 ounces each. These Leopards have amazingly beautiful coat patterns when they are adults.
Adorable baby - gorgeous adult! Did the babies' mama reject them, or why is it being hand fed?
SueAnn,
This is a little sad?! Seems they are hand-raising the kittens because the Clouded Leopards are so rare. 'With clouded leopards vulnerable to extinction in the wild, zoo staff emphasized the importance of the new pair of cubs to the species as a whole.'

Hmmmm. Yeah, I think the natural mom should be allowed to care for the kittens . . . after all, it's a zoo - not the wild habitat.
