New Approaches Could Improve Clouded Leopard Breeding | Smithsonian’s National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

https://nationalzoo.si.edu/center-species-survival/news/new-approaches-could-improve-clouded-leopard-breeding

Why do clouded leopards seem to have a tough time reproducing outside of their natural habitat? As wild populations continue to dwindle, conservation scientists are working against the clock to find successful artificial insemination methods.
