Clouded Leopard

 I spent so much time watching this Clouded Leopard just grooming.   I believe this one is Raury, but not positive.  She acted just like a really big house cat.  It was so interesting to me.

Asmara steals Raya

 I stayed watching Tara with her newest baby, Raya, and her older teenager, Asmara, for a long time.  There was a staff member there explaining to those passing by that the reason Asmara was in with Tara and Raya was so that Asmara could learn how to be a mom.  Asmara certainly was interested, but Tara was not very interested in letting her have Raya.  But all of the sudden, Asmara got her hands on Raya and actually managed to get away with her.  Asmara quickly climbed higher and higher, trying to keep Tara away.  It was the first time Asmara had successfully gotten a hold of Raya and she clearly was not interested in giving her back any time soon.  Tara seemed exhausted but unwilling to stop pursuing her infant.  Eventually Asmara got to the top and had nowhere else to go which meant that Tara caught up and was able to get Raya back.  The whole thing was crazy to witness.  Raya looked scared, holding on to the bedding she'd been playing with moments earlier before she was snatched up.

Tara and Raya

 I got to see Tara with her new baby, Raya!!  I couldn't believe how tiny Raya is and she'd already like 4 months old.  Tara's older daughter, Asmara, was with them and was very interested in trying to hold Raya.  It was funny how diligent Tara had to be to keep Asmara from grabbing Raya.
