Description

Breeding clouded leopards in captivity has been a challenge the world over, primarily due to male aggression, decreased breeding activity between paired animals, and high cub mortality. The National Zoo has been working in partnership with the Zoological Park Organization of Thailand, the Nashville Zoo and the Clouded Leopard Species Survival Plan to develop a clouded leopard breeding program in Thai zoos. The photo was taken at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute (SCBI) in Front Royal, VA by FONZ Photo Club photographer, Janice Sveda. Approximately 14"x16" (matted).
