CLOUDED LEOPARD
Neofelis nebulosa


The clouded leopard is a medium-sized arboreal cat that lives in the forests and grasslands of South East Asia. It has yellow to grey fur that is covered in large black reticulated rings. Their head, legs, and tail are covered in black spots and stripes.


The clouded leopard is a vulnerable species; its population is largely fragmented across its range due to habitat destruction by deforestation. This reduces the amount of habitat and prey that the leopards have access to and also decreases their choice of mates. They are poached for their skins and body parts that are used in traditional medicine. It is illegal to hunt clouded leopards and they are protected across its range.

In today's episode of the Elm Hill City Zoo we will build a walkthrough Butterfly Greenhouse and the Insect Garden for the native bugs of the area where our zoo is located! 🦋🐞 I am really happy that I was able to implement all my ideas that I had for the butterflies - both for the indoor exhibit and the open-air garden for the free flying butterflies! Hope you guys will enjoy the video! 💚
 
EMU
Dromaius novaehollandiae


The emu is the world’s second largest species of flightless bird, only dwarfed by the common ostrich. It lives in the savannahs and woodlands of Australia.

Emus are not endangered and are classed as a species of Least Concern by the International Union for Conservation. They are numerous throughout Australia despite being hunted for meat and by pest control measures in the past. They are not in danger of going extinct any time soon.

KING PENGUIN
Aptenodytes patagonicus patagonicus


The king penguin is a large species of flightless seabird that inhabits the Antarctic Ocean and breeds on subantarctic islands such as the Falklands and South Georgia.

The species is not currently considered threatened, although forecasts point to a rapid decline in its population over the next few decades. This is mainly due to climate change, ocean warming, and widespread overfishing of the penguin's natural prey by humans. Although the king penguin is not in danger due to its current high population, there are already non-governmental organizations that propose to maintain it by creating marine reserves around its habitat and limiting fishing in those areas.
