In our Follow That Food Chain: a Mangove Forest book, we wrote about clouded leopards. They are so secretive that not much is known about them. They are also very much in danger of going extinct before we can even learn about them. But now two clouded leopard babies have been born at the Smithsonian’s National Zoo. (And two more at the Nashville Zoo.) While these leopards won’t get to grow up in the wild tangles of the mangrove forest of Souteast Asia, they may help us understand their species better.

(I dare you to watch and not go, “Awwww…”)
