Yesterday, the National Zoo made the discovery of twin clouded leopard cubs in the Conservation and Research Center of the zoo.
Hand raising of the babies seems to be the best policy since mother clouded leopards sometimes lose one or more cubs, sometimes by accidentally killing one or purposely destroying one. To more more sure of their survival, the babies are being cared for by humans.
These are the first of their kind to be born at this zoo in sixteen years. Their parents were brought in from Thailand last year. Obviously, the pair mated without anyone being aware of it.
