Fewer than 100 of these leopards are left in the wild — and one of them was just born.
Meet Cleveland Metroparks Zoo's newest arrival: an Amur leopard cub, born July 1st to first-time parents Marta and Sylas — the first Amur leopard ever born at the zoo in its 144-year history, and the first at any zoo in Ohio.
Count every Amur leopard living in accredited zoos worldwide, and the total is maybe 300. This cub just became part of that number.
Mom and baby are bonding behind the scenes — already nursing, already mobile. Dad Sylas is still out for visitors to see.
"Every birth offers renewed hope for the future of this iconic species," says the zoo's Dr. Chris Kuhar.
