Clouded leopards

Just look at these little beauties, aren't they gorgeous?:D

It would be a shame if the species disappeared forever. I'm greatly in favour of all the Animal Parks and Zoos who operate breeding programmes to protect the various species from extinction.

Another example of safeguarding the population of an endangered species happened at our local zoo this week when a Chinese box turtle was hatched...

It is very sad - the zoos do good work in keeping these species alive. Beautiful leopards it would be such a shame to lose them. Shame on the human species.

Stunning! It's heartbreaking what we are doing to endangered species with poaching and habitat destruction......we've not been good stewards of the Earth....
