An interesting tidbit I'd mention is that the three cubs are all named after foods common in the areas that Clouded Leopards reside in:
  • Bahn, likely referring to Bánh which means cake or bread in Vietnamese and is used as a descriptor for various dishes such as Bánh Mi
  • Bakso meaning meatball in Indonesian, often eaten with soup
  • Bao or Baozi often referring to a steamed bun filled with various fillings from Chinese cuisine with versions present in other Asian countries such as Malaysia and Singapore

1.0 Lemonade was born 18/03 at Tanganyika Wildlife Park to first time parents, Larry and Adelaide.

Tanganyika Wildlife Park on Instagram: "A Clouded Leopard Cub Joins the Tanganyika Family! This is the first cub born to parents Larry and Adelaide and our keepers were rooting for his name from the start, combining mom and dad’s names into something perfect. So, meet LEMONADE! This little fella was born on March 18th and is already very playful. If you've seen him through our nursery window, you probably saw him rolling around with his favorite stuffed animal. Keeper Kiana says, "He is starting to be a big boy and eat meat out of a bowl instead of getting milk in a bottle. We start out by mixing the meat with some formula in a bowl and slowly increasing the amount of meat so that he gets more used to eating solids and is slowly weaned off the milk." Make sure you peek in the nursery window next time you're here and follow along on our socials to watch him grow! #cloudedleopard #cloudedleopards #Cubs #cubs #kittens #kittensofig #cats #catsgram #Conservation #conservation #babyanimals"

* I am unsure of the fate of these cubs as the facility's social media makes no mention of the cubs.
 
ZooTampa mourns the loss of Malee, our beloved 14-year-old clouded leopard. Malee, whose name means flower, was diagnosed with a severe illness and was humanely euthanized this morning. Malee was an integral part of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums Species Survival Program and leaves behind a legacy of three offsprings, a substantial contribution to this vulnerable Asian species. While most clouded leopards are known to be shy and reclusive, Maelee was also a feisty and independent cat that loved to watch guests while relaxing on her favorite log. Alongside her mate Yim, she played a critical role in educating guests about the diverse and remarkable species that inhabit our world.

A (1.0) clouded leopard was born on June 22nd at Fort Wayne Zoo in Indiana to Sanji x Raury.

22K views · 1K reactions | Fort Wayne Zoo is excited to announce the birth of a male clouded leopard cub born the morning of June 22 to mother Raury, 7 years old, and father Sanji, 5 years old. This is the second successful litter born to Raury and Sanji and the second clouded leopard cub born at the Fort Wayne Zoo. His name will be unveiled at a later date. “We are overjoyed to welcome the arrival of the male clouded leopard,” said Rick Schuiteman, Zoo Executive Director & CEO. “Raising a clouded leopard cub takes tremendous effort and I am incredibly proud of our Animal Care & Health Teams for all of their hard work and dedication towards caring for this vulnerable species.” The Zoo plays an active role in the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA) Clouded Leopard Species Survival Plan, a program that seeks to maintain genetic diversity and long-term sustainability of species with significant conservation value. For clouded leopards, hand-rearing is a recommended best practice due to historical patterns of low maternal success in this species. “Although it is always preferred for a baby to be raised by its mother, we have a dedicated, qualified team to meet the needs of animals born at the Zoo when human intervention is warranted,” states Dr. Kami Alvarado, Director of Animal Health & Conservation. “Ensuring the survival of all species is our top priority, including this clouded leopard cub that is extremely valuable to its species’ population.” As we continue to care for the cub behind-the-scenes, we invite the public to follow his journey on the Zoo’s Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, and website at fwzoo.com.
