Our carnivore team introduces us to Cirrus, one of the Zoo’s clouded leopards. These medium-sized cats have some pretty cool adaptations to help them spend a lot of their time in the trees. We’ll also see how they are trained to go into a kennel for transporting them!

Join one of our carnivore keepers, Christina, as she tells us more about our dynamic cheetah duo—Cheeto and Frito!
