Clouded Leopards at the Point Defiance Zoo

The Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma, WA, sometimes has members-only events, and last night they had a special event to celebrate this coming weekend's grand opening of the new Cats of the Canopy clouded leopard exhibit. A long line of people waited to see the clouded leopards, and zoo employees urged people not to take too long looking at the leopards. Even though I understood the need to hurry and give others the chance to see them, I felt disappointed we couldn't look at them longer.  We truly enjoyed seeing them, though!

A lot of people waited in line.

While waiting in line, first of all we saw a beautiful adult clouded leopard. . .

Then we came to the nursery where the adorable baby leopards frolicked. . .
