With their tiny paws and delicate whiskers these utterly adorable balls of fluff are three of the rarest breed of leopard in the world. Born thanks to a special conservation program, the cuddly trio snuggle together to keep warm as they pose for their first shoot since being born just two weeks ago. Clouded leopard Jing Jai gave birth to one female cub and Baylie gave birth to one male and one female - with all three happily being hand-raised by the Zoos animal care staff. This breed is considered endangered because of deforestation, poaching and the pet trade. Carnivore supervisor at Nashville Zoo Karen Rice said: The zoo is a leader in clouded leopard conservation - with 18 clouded leopards born at our off-exhibit breeding facility since 2009.
