a video of the three clouded leopards that Tuna, a fishing cat, grew up with. On his first day of life, Tuna’s mother turned him down. I’m not sure why, given that she had successfully raised prior litters of kittens, she did not take care of him. When I first discovered Tuna, he was quite frail, but he immediately grew stronger. Tuna had some company because I raised him among the three clouded leopard sisters. He is a week younger than them. It was fascinating to observe how the various species differed over time. Soon after the last segment of the movie was recorded, I separated them since the clouded leopard was growing a little too big for him and needed his own place.
