Adopt Lura, Taj, and Malee

Clouded Leopards

$50.00 Donation

Name for Adoption Certificate
Clouded Leopard - Lura (4)

Lura is the first clouded leopard to ever be born at Panther Ridge on March 5th, 2018. She loves to play with palm fronds and run around her enclosure with Taj and Malee. Lura is incredibly loving and has mothered many cubs to help with her species survival. Three of her cubs, Peach, Bruce and Pearl, are permanent residents of Panther Ridge.

Our gorgeous male clouded leopard, Taj, came to us from another facility to be a companion for Lura after she was born. Taj was born on March 28th, 2018 and is genetically unrelated to Lura and Malee. These three became the perfect trio growing up together and now contribute to conservation through species survival plans. Taj is the father of Peach, Leilani, Bruce and Pearl who all live at Panther Ridge.

Malee is the second clouded leopard to ever be born at Panther Ridge on May 30th, 2018. At a couple of months old, she was introduced to Lura and Taj to form a trio – that way Malee could learn how to be a clouded leopard from them and live with them as they all got older. She has had multiple cubs which have gone to reputable facilities across the country to help educate and aid in species survival for clouded leopards. Her daughter with Taj, Leilani, lives at Panther Ridge with Peach. Malee can be reserved at times but is exceptionally sweet and playful with the people she’s comfortable with!
