Clouded Leopards
Malachi
Male Clouded Leopard came to Big Cat Rescue as a temporary boarder. He seemed to enjoy Life on Easy Street! There are only 195 Clouded Leopards in captivity and of those only 111 in the SSP breeding program. At the 1999 Felid TAG meeting it was revealed by a study conducted on 32 Clouded Leopards, something we have believed all along: Cats that are hand raised are much happier and less stressed in captivity. Penny Andrews was instrumental in supplying data for this research.
Sadly, Malachi died from Aden carcinoma, a incurable cancer in June 2000. He didn't suffer as you can see from these photos below taken the week before his diagnosis.
