Clouded Leopard Kitten

NO INVITES PLEASE!

 

IMAGE NOT MINE.

 

It was included in an article sent out by the Naples Zoo letting people know about the Clouded Leopard kittens born at the zoo where I volunteer every Monday morning.

 

Part of a new article regarding the two clouded leopard kittens -

 

Naples Zoo is proud to be the home of two rare juvenile clouded leopards. This breeding pair of leopards were specifically matched and sent to Naples Zoo as part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums’ Species Survival Plan® (SSP). The SSP is a cooperatively managed breeding program that works to create sustainable populations of threatened and endangered species. The clouded leopards made their grand debut to the public on Saturday, December 10, 2016.

 

On February 22, 2019, the SSP was successful, as Tika gave birth to two female clouded leopard kittens. The adorable kittens were named Jean and Janet, selected for an anonymous donor that supported the clouded leopard exhibit and Glass Animal Hospital. The kittens made their grand debut to the public on Tuesday, May 7, 2019.
