Clouded leopard cubs (April 19th, 2015)

The last cage in the nursery held two clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) cubs. The Olmense Zoo has bred clouded leopards at least twice now. The Olmense Zoo has a history of hand-rearing (big) cat cubs. In the past, they hand-reared basically every cub. Today, some are allowed to stay with their mothers, but I have still seems several cubs are hand-reared every years. I have visited the Olmense Zoo 6 times over the last 6 years and in those visits I have seen tigers, mountain lions, clouded leopards as well as arctic foxes and eagle-owls being hand-reared. During my April 19th, 2015 visit there was also a juvenile mountain lion in another cage. Unfortunately, the cage holding the two clouded leopard cubs had very bad reflection in the window, and making a good picture of the cubs was nearly impossible. It looked like a female staff member's handbag was being used as a sleeping nest for the cubs.
