    After more than a year in captivity learning to hunt and fend for themselves, the Clouded Leopard cubs are ready for release. How do you think they will survive in their forest home?

    Beautiful cats. However, in my opinion before these cats are released to the wild, they have to be taught to fear humans . If they don't fear humans, the risk of getting hunted by poachers are high. Cats have excellent hearing and they can hear human footsteps far away. Their paws can feel the vibrations and gravity on the ground. They should avoid any human contact as much as possible and not come to investigate at all. The fact they are friendly towards humans are bad for their species survival as humans are apex predators in the modern world.
