Nashville zoo announces arrival of rare clouded leopard

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WTVF) — Meet one of the newest additions at the Nashville zoo— a clouded leopard cub.

She was born mid-July and marks the 45th cub born at the Nashville Zoo since 1991.

The zoo noted that the clouded leopard's population is on the decline, so the birth and survival of this female cub is significant.

The zoo also said the animal will receive primary care from its HCA Healthcare Veterinary Center.

Side note: We also wanted to know its name. As of today, the zoo said it doesn't have one yet!

The cub joins two others, a brother and sister, that were recently acquired by the zoo.

Vandy's band of misfits turns heads with 7-1 start

This is a story I immediately went home and showed my boys - young athletes with big dreams. The Vanderbilt football team's success has stolen the spotlight - what I love about Steve Layman's story is he reveals the individual hardships it took to get there. As Clark Lea says, "we all have scuff marks." This team proves perseverance pays off!
