Watch Young Clouded Leopards
Two special clouded leopards were born at the Zoo's Front Royal, Virginia, facility on February 14, 2010. They are part of an international program to conserve the species, which is threatened by deforestation and hunting. The genetically valuable cubs are being hand-reared.
The cams below show a male and female that were paired at a young age to create a bonded pair for future breeding.
Clouded Leopards Need You!
National Zoo scientists and their colleagues around the world are aggressively working to save this species from decline. One of their goals is to create a genetically diverse population, and the birth of five cubs in the past year was a major cause for celebration. In fact, the Zoo's Virginia facility holds the largest population of clouded leopards in North America.
While the clouded leopards there have a safe home, they need a new one. They currently live in a facility that was built in 1911 and it's time for a change. Their new world-class facility will ensure the cats' health and well-being, and support the vital research needed to secure the survival of this magnificent species.
The new facility will cost $2 million and we can’t build it without your help. Donate today.
We're delighted to present new cams, courtesy of CGH Technologies Inc., so people can watch and learn about these beautiful cats.

Watching Young Clouded Leopards:
This cam features a male born at the Zoo’s Virginia facility and a female born at the Nashville Zoo in 2009. Due to deforestation and hunting, clouded leopards are listed as “vulnerable to extinction.” National Zoo scientists working at our Virginia campus hope to create a genetically diverse population of these little-known cats. In the past 30 years, more than 76 clouded leopards have been born here.
