The clouded leopard is a charismatic and shy big cat native to the jungles of South East Asia. There are only 277 clouded leopards in a managed environment worldwide. In this presentation we go to the Kheow Khao Open Zoo in Thailand to work with 34 clouded leopards housed at the Clouded Leopard Breeding Consortium. We will learn about the hands-on strategy used in breeding two very different pairings of clouded leopards. Visiting the native country of the clouded leopard will not only broaden your perspective and your base knowledge of the species but will also teach you about the customs, culture and climate of their native habitat.
