These rare clouded leopard cubs, born on the leap day of February 29, 2016 are making great progress. “Our leap year leopards are developing in leaps and bounds”, joked Rachel Nelson, a spokesperson for Tampa's Lowry Park Zoo in Florida, USA. The adorable cubs are named Aiya and Shigu. Their species of big cat is known to be shy and reclusive, dwelling mostly in the forests of Southeast Asia.
