Two rare clouded leopard cubs have been born at a research center in Virginia. This is indeed joyous event to happen, especially to leopards in captivity as in the world today the leopard population is among some of the most endangered species. In places like Nepal and India sightings of leopard have become rare, in some places, like Ladakh, a home to the elusive snow leopard, due to ongoing conflict between conservation and local area villages conservation efforts as well as tourist visits have been suspended.
