The Lowry Park Zoo in Tampa, Florida is welcoming its newest feline member, a two-week-old male clouded leopard cub.
According to the zoo’s statement, the cub was born on Mar. 7 to the zoo’s two adult leopards, four-year-olds Yim and Malee.
Zoo staff will hand-rear the cub until six months of age, at which point he will be introduced to potential mates. The zoo says hand-rearing the cub will help improve socialization and curb fatal attacks by aggressive adult cats.
In the video, the adorable cub enjoys his bath, letting out a loud squeak. He’s also equally engrossed by the feeding bottle.
Currently weighing in at one pound, four ounces, he will grow to weigh between 30 and 50 pounds.
