Pati and Jaya
With all the talk about how many animals are endangered, it’s good to hear a story about ones that are struggling to make a comeback. Such is the case with the Southeast Asian clouded leopards. A pair of cubs was born on May 14 at a Paris zoo. The cubs are both females and have been named Pati and Jaya.
This particular kind of cats is threatened by habitat destruction as well as poachers. They are highly valued for their beautiful pelts. The cats are very reclusive in the wild and finding out how many are left is difficult. At least we know that there are two more!
