Clouded Leopard Zoomies!

A four-month-old clouded leopard cub named Rakan recently arrived at Point Defiant Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, Washington. The cub joins the zoo on a breeding recommendation through the Species Survival Plan. Point Defiant Zoo is a global leader in clouded leopard conservation. Zoo leaders collaborate with other zoos and organizations in the United States and Southeast Asia to research the elusive treetop-loving cat and share their expertise. The Species Survival Plan recommends the cub eventually mate with eight-year-old Sing Dao, a female resident at the Tacoma Zoo. Rakan won't be sexually mature until he's one and a half to two years old, so for now zoo staff will focus on creating a strong bond between the pair.
