When: May 16, 2017
Where: Zie-ZOO Volkel, The NetherlandS
It's been about 4 years since the Clouded Leopard brothers arrived at the zoo. At first, in their old enclosure, they would stay in this large, wooden tree trunk with a hole inside. They would be curled up inside, TOGETHER. We'd get to see a foot, or tail, and with some luck, even a sleeping face. They also had a platform near the top, where one might be if they'd had a sibling fit. When they moved to their new enclosure, with more high platforms.
By now, it seems like they've adapted well enough that they aren't as elusive anymore. They'll even venture outside when it's still light out, and wait for their food in plain sight. This time especially, he laid down quite prettily as if daring us to photograph him. That was one challenge we happil accepted
