TACOMA — A clouded leopard cub born May 1 at the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma is now on public exhibit.
Zookeepers named it Tien (TEE’-en), a Thai word with a connotation of strength and stability.
The News Tribune reports that the cub weighed a half-pound when born and now weighs 4 pounds. The public can see it at daily 9:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. feedings.
Clouded leopards are native to Southeast Asia forests. They are an endangered species.
