Nashville Zoo Cubs

Check out this video of the Nashville Zoo's one-month-old cubs. This is such a cute age as they start getting more mobile. These cubs represent the continuing success of the Clouded Leopard Consortium breeding program based in Khao Kheow Open Zoo in Thailand. The three cubs are from two differenct litters born just days apart. Two cubs were born to 5-year-old Jing Jai and her mate Arun who came from Thailand in 2008. This is Jing Jai's third litter. The other cub is the first birth for 2-year old Lom Choy and her mate Luk. Lom Choy was imported from Thailand in spring 2010, and introduced to Luk, one of three cubs born to Jing Jai and Arun at Nashville Zoo in 2009.
