00:00We have new additions to the cat trail here at the San Diego Zoo.
00:05Three Amherd Leopard cubs, I guess you could call them.
00:08They're still young, still playful, still very energetic.
00:13Amherd Leopards are one of those critically endangered species,
00:17which is partly why we have them here at the San Diego Zoo.
00:19We are in jeopardy of losing them all together in the wild
00:23because of some of those pressures like habitat loss
00:26that affects them directly,
00:29whether it's not being able to find one another for breeding purposes
00:32or it affects their prey and opportunities to be able to find food.
00:37And of course their coats are still pretty valued if you take a look at them.
00:42Amherd Leopards are a critically endangered species
00:45and what that means for that species is that there are not enough numbers in the wild
00:50to sustain a viable population.
00:52And the less numbers you get, the more likely those animals are to become extinct.
00:58And what a shame it would be for the world not to have Amherd Leopards in it.
01:01One of the many reasons we have the Amherd Leopards here
01:03is to provide space for that captive population
01:06that is ultimately going to be what helps the wild population of Amherd Leopard cats.
01:11So we've provided space for these three individuals
01:14and as they get older they'll be redistributed to facilities
01:17that they'll participate in breeding programs for.
01:19But they are also here so that our guests get an opportunity to see
01:23some wild exotic cats like Amherd Leopards
01:26and also expand our collection at the San Diego Zoo of Cat Species.
01:30Thanks for having me on the top of the RTX of Comedy importantoffs.安an
