On April 11, a cunaguaro (Leopardo Pardalis) was born in the Caricuao Zoo Recreation Park, the result of a supervised reproduction attempt, whose objective is to increase the number of felids of this Central and South American species.
The male puppy (known in Venezuela as cunaguaro) is in perfect physical condition and has a formidable robustness to be a newborn.
Now we have to wait 15 to 45 days for the natural weaning to occur and thus assess the breeding more fully before the swallowing of solid food begins.
Supervised reproduction began with the placement in a single exhibition of a male and a female, which are generally kept in separate captivity.
Once 82 days passed, the premeditated delivery of a single specimen occurred, which usually happens when these species are kept in captivity, since in wildlife the cunaguara can have between one and eight puppies.
It is very important that these types of reproductions are made to avoid the disappearance of these species from nature. Great job for these veterinarians of the Zoo Park in Venezuela.
