Clouded Leopard Kittens Make Debut at Zoo Miami

Six-month old clouded leopard kittens made their official public debut Wednesday at Zoo Miami, as they were introduced with their mother.

Serai, the four-year-old mother, led the two female kittens, Malee and Suree, onto the open-air exhibit where at first, they hesitated to enter.

After several minutes, the kittens ventured out and began to climb up the sides of the enclosure exploring the new areas.

Zoo employees said it will probably take several days before the kittens are comfortable with their new surroundings but it appears they are adapting well.

They are scheduled to be on exhibit Thursday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. They will be off exhibit Friday and Saturday this week.

The schedule will be reevaluated next week, eventually leading up to daily exhibition.
