Story summary
- Cleveland Metroparks Zoo announced an Amur leopard cub was born after midnight on July 1.
- Dr. Chris Kuhar says the cub’s birth, whose parents are five-year-old Marta and four-year-old Sylas, gives hope for a species with under 100 individuals left in Russia’s Primorye region.
- The zoo will hide the cub for weeks, post updates on social media, and hold a naming event, using $50,000 donated since 2013 to Amur tiger projects.
