DEEP IN AN

00:00:03,969 --> 00:00:07,248
ANCIENT JUNGLE, A MAGNIFICENT
4
00:00:07,248 --> 00:00:09,733
ANIMAL WAS ON THE PROWL.

00:00:09,733 --> 00:00:12,529
STUNNING AND SECRETIVE.
7
00:00:12,529 --> 00:00:14,083
SOUTHEAST ASIA'S CLOUDED
8
00:00:14,083 --> 00:00:16,533
LEOPARD.
9
00:00:16,533 --> 00:00:18,811
THIS RARELY SEEN WILDCAT HAS
10
00:00:18,811 --> 00:00:20,158
BEEN A MYSTERY TO HUMANS FOR
11
00:00:20,158 --> 00:00:22,022
CENTURIES.
12
00:00:22,022 --> 00:00:24,334
BUT NOW, THERE'S DISTURBING NEW
13
00:00:24,334 --> 00:00:27,648
EVIDENCE THAT WE CAN'T IGNORE.
14
00:00:27,648 --> 00:00:31,203
THREATS IN THE FOREST--
15
00:00:31,203 --> 00:00:32,515
AND UNSETTLING IMAGES FROM
16
00:00:32,515 --> 00:00:35,932
INSIDE THE ILLEGAL ANIMAL TRADE.
17
00:00:39,211 --> 00:00:41,558
HUMAN AND NATURAL FORCES ARE
18
00:00:41,558 --> 00:00:46,046
DRIVING CLOUDED LEOPARDS TO THE
19
00:00:46,046 --> 00:00:47,254
EDGE OF EXTINCTION.
20
00:00:47,254 --> 00:00:48,013
THE CLOUDED LEOPARD IS ONE OF
21
00:00:48,013 --> 00:00:49,463
THE MOST ENDANGERED CAT SPECIES
22
00:00:49,463 --> 00:00:51,051
WE HAVE ON EARTH.
23
00:00:51,051 --> 00:00:51,913
SCIENTISTS ARE
24
00:00:51,913 --> 00:00:53,329
RACING TO UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF
25
00:00:53,329 --> 00:00:56,884
THESE ENIGMATIC PREDATORS.
26
00:00:56,884 --> 00:00:58,541
AND ACTIVISTS ARE TRYING TO STOP
27
00:00:58,541 --> 00:01:01,061
THE KILLING.
28
00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:02,269
BUT CLOUDED LEOPARDS ARE DEFYING
29
00:01:02,269 --> 00:01:05,444
ATTEMPTS TO PROTECT THEM.
30
00:01:05,444 --> 00:01:06,963
MALES ATTACKING THEIR FEMALE
31
00:01:06,963 --> 00:01:08,965
PARTNERS.
32
00:01:08,965 --> 00:01:11,485
A MOTHER KILLING ITS OWN CUB.
33
00:01:11,485 --> 00:01:12,210
THEIR
34
00:01:12,210 --> 00:01:13,349
AGGRESSION PROBLEMS, THEIR
35
00:01:13,349 --> 00:01:14,488
BEHAVIORAL PROBLEMS, REALLY
36
00:01:14,488 --> 00:01:16,559
COMPROMISES OUR ABILITY TO SAVE
37
00:01:16,559 --> 00:01:17,836
THEM.
38
00:01:17,836 --> 00:01:19,182
AND SOON, THESE
39
00:01:19,182 --> 00:01:24,084
MYSTERIOUS CATS COULD DISAPPEAR
40
00:01:24,084 --> 00:01:31,125
FOREVER.
41
00:01:33,369 --> 00:01:34,853
THAILAND'S KHAO YAI NATIONAL
42
00:01:34,853 --> 00:01:36,648
PARK.
43
00:01:36,648 --> 00:01:38,028
MORE THAN 2,000 SQUARE
44
00:01:38,028 --> 00:01:39,168
KILOMETERS OF PROTECTED
45
00:01:39,168 --> 00:01:41,653
WILDERNESS.
46
00:01:41,653 --> 00:01:42,895
IT'S THE REALM OF THE CLOUDED
47
00:01:42,895 --> 00:01:48,763
LEOPARD.
48
00:01:48,763 --> 00:01:49,799
THAT IS, IF YOU CAN FIND ONE.
49
00:01:49,799 --> 00:01:50,593
TWENTY-NINE-YEAR OLD,
50
00:01:50,593 --> 00:01:52,940
KANDA DEMERON CHINERONG,
51
00:01:52,940 --> 00:01:54,666
A THAI GRADUATE STUDENT, IS
52
00:01:54,666 --> 00:01:56,254
TRYING TO TRACK CLOUDEDS FOR A
53
00:01:56,254 --> 00:01:58,428
PROJECT RUN BY THE SMITHSONIAN
54
00:01:58,428 --> 00:01:59,464
AND AN ACTIVIST GROUP CALLED
55
00:01:59,464 --> 00:02:02,501
"WILDAID THAILAND."
56
00:02:02,501 --> 00:02:03,813
THE PROBLEM IS, SHE'S BEEN
57
00:02:03,813 --> 00:02:04,883
SEARCHING FOR ALMOST THREE
58
00:02:04,883 --> 00:02:06,609
YEARS.
59
00:02:06,609 --> 00:02:07,644
AND SHE'S NEVER SEEN A SINGLE
60
00:02:07,644 --> 00:02:09,439
ONE.
61
00:02:12,339 --> 00:02:13,098
IT'S DIFFICULT TO
62
00:02:13,098 --> 00:02:15,273
EXPLAIN.
63
00:02:15,273 --> 00:02:19,000
I'M FASCINATED BY THIS ANIMAL.
64
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,176
THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL CREATURES,
65
00:02:22,176 --> 00:02:26,801
AND IT'S EXTREMELY RARE TO SEE
66
00:02:26,801 --> 00:02:27,802
THEM IN THE FOREST.
67
00:02:27,802 --> 00:02:28,665
THIS JUNGLE IS HOME
68
00:02:28,665 --> 00:02:32,359
TO A MAGNIFICENT RANGE OF
69
00:02:32,359 --> 00:02:33,670
SPECIES.
70
00:02:33,670 --> 00:02:35,465
BUT UNFORTUNATELY FOR KANDA,
71
00:02:35,465 --> 00:02:37,122
SHE'S AFTER THE MOST ELUSIVE
72
00:02:37,122 --> 00:02:39,780
ONE.
73
00:02:39,780 --> 00:02:41,471
ONLY SIX CLOUDEDS HAVE EVER BEEN
74
00:02:41,471 --> 00:02:44,164
TRACKED AND STUDIED IN THE WILD.
75
00:02:44,164 --> 00:02:45,510
AND SCIENTISTS STILL DON'T KNOW
76
00:02:45,510 --> 00:02:47,753
MUCH MORE THAN THE BASICS,
77
00:02:47,753 --> 00:02:49,099
INCLUDING HOW MANY ARE ACTUALLY
78
00:02:49,099 --> 00:02:51,309
LEFT.
79
00:02:51,309 --> 00:02:52,344
THEY DO KNOW THAT CLOUDED
80
00:02:52,344 --> 00:02:55,036
LEOPARDS WEIGH UP TO 50 POUNDS,
81
00:02:55,036 --> 00:02:56,659
ONE-TENTH THE SIZE OF A LION OR
82
00:02:56,659 --> 00:02:58,419
A TIGER.
83
00:02:58,419 --> 00:03:00,387
AND A RANGE OF SPECIAL FEATURES
84
00:03:00,387 --> 00:03:04,425
MAKE THEM MASTER TREE CLIMBERS.
85
00:03:04,425 --> 00:03:05,909
SHORT STOUT LEGS KEEP A
86
00:03:05,909 --> 00:03:07,704
CLOUDED'S CENTER OF GRAVITY LOW,
87
00:03:07,704 --> 00:03:09,568
HELPING IT CLIMB AND HANG
88
00:03:09,568 --> 00:03:12,468
FROM BRANCHES.
89
00:03:12,468 --> 00:03:14,194
ROTATING REAR ANKLES ENABLE THE
90
00:03:14,194 --> 00:03:15,954
CAT TO DESCEND TREE TRUNKS, HEAD
91
00:03:15,954 --> 00:03:17,645
FIRST, TO TRACK PREY ON THE
92
00:03:17,645 --> 00:03:21,131
GROUND.
93
00:03:21,131 --> 00:03:23,064
AND A LONG FLEXIBLE TAIL, THE
94
00:03:23,064 --> 00:03:24,825
LENGTH OF ITS ENTIRE BODY, KEEPS
95
00:03:24,825 --> 00:03:29,416
A CLOUDED BALANCED WHEN IT'S
96
00:03:29,416 --> 00:03:30,520
PROWLING ALONG BRANCHES.
97
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:31,590
BUT CRITICAL INFORMATION ON
98
00:03:31,590 --> 00:03:33,316
THEIR BREEDING PATTERNS, FEEDING
99
00:03:33,316 --> 00:03:35,180
HABITS, AND HABITAT, IS STILL
100
00:03:35,180 --> 00:03:36,354
MISSING.
101
00:03:36,354 --> 00:03:38,321
KANDA AND HER TEAM SPEND UP TO
102
00:03:38,321 --> 00:03:39,909
FOUR DAYS AT A TIME IN THE
103
00:03:39,909 --> 00:03:42,567
FOREST, TRYING TO FIND ANY CLUES
104
00:03:42,567 --> 00:03:45,535
THEY POSSIBLY CAN.
105
00:03:45,535 --> 00:03:47,399
BUT THE FACT IS, THE CHANCES OF
106
00:03:47,399 --> 00:03:49,159
THEM SEEING A CLOUDED LEOPARD IN
107
00:03:49,159 --> 00:03:50,609
FORESTS LIKE THIS ONE ARE
108
00:03:50,609 --> 00:03:53,819
FALLING EVERY DAY.
109
00:03:53,819 --> 00:03:55,752
THOUSANDS OF YEARS AGO, CLOUDED
110
00:03:55,752 --> 00:03:57,237
LEOPARDS THRIVED IN GIANT
111
00:03:57,237 --> 00:03:59,100
JUNGLES THAT STRETCHED FROM
112
00:03:59,100 --> 00:04:01,206
NORTHERN INDIA, CLEAR ACROSS
113
00:04:01,206 --> 00:04:04,244
SOUTHEAST ASIA TO TAIWAN, AND
114
00:04:04,244 --> 00:04:08,178
AS FAR SOUTH AS INDONESIA.
115
00:04:08,178 --> 00:04:10,629
BUT SINCE THEN, LOGGING,
116
00:04:10,629 --> 00:04:12,286
AGRICULTURE, AND HUMAN
117
00:04:12,286 --> 00:04:13,874
DEVELOPMENT HAVE DESTROYED MORE
118
00:04:13,874 --> 00:04:15,047
THAN HALF OF THEIR ORIGINAL
119
00:04:15,047 --> 00:04:17,636
HABITAT.
120
00:04:17,636 --> 00:04:19,845
IN THAILAND ALONE, A STAGGERING
121
00:04:19,845 --> 00:04:21,364
88 PERCENT OF THE COUNTRY'S
122
00:04:21,364 --> 00:04:23,159
PRIMARY FORESTS ARE ALREADY
123
00:04:23,159 --> 00:04:25,610
GONE.
124
00:04:25,610 --> 00:04:26,921
AS THEIR HABITAT CONTINUES TO
125
00:04:26,921 --> 00:04:31,926
DISAPPEAR, THE CATS DO TOO.
126
00:04:31,926 --> 00:04:32,824
AND IT'S GETTING HARDER AND
127
00:04:32,824 --> 00:04:34,515
HARDER FOR RESEARCHERS LIKE
128
00:04:34,515 --> 00:04:36,655
KANDA TO GATHER THE DATA NEEDED
129
00:04:36,655 --> 00:04:39,175
TO HELP PROTECT THEM.
130
00:04:39,175 --> 00:04:41,039
THESE DAYS, TO FIND CLOUDED
131
00:04:41,039 --> 00:04:42,834
LEOPARDS FOR SURE, THERE IS ONE
132
00:04:42,834 --> 00:04:48,909
PLACE YOU CAN GO.
133
00:04:48,909 --> 00:04:49,772
AND IT'S NOT THE JUNGLE.
134
00:04:49,772 --> 00:04:51,187
THE TOWN OF TACHILEK IS AN
135
00:04:51,187 --> 00:04:52,361
INTERNATIONAL SMUGGLERS
136
00:04:52,361 --> 00:04:54,570
PARADISE.
137
00:04:54,570 --> 00:04:56,468
IT LIES IN THE INFAMOUS GOLDEN
138
00:04:56,468 --> 00:04:59,091
TRIANGLE, A REGION ON THE
139
00:04:59,091 --> 00:05:01,749
BORDERS OF MYANMAR, THAILAND AND
140
00:05:01,749 --> 00:05:04,304
LAOS.
141
00:05:04,304 --> 00:05:06,098
THIS IS GROUND ZERO IN THE
142
00:05:06,098 --> 00:05:08,549
CLOUDED LEOPARD TRADE.
143
00:05:08,549 --> 00:05:11,241
POVERTY, MILITARY CONFLICT, AND
144
00:05:11,241 --> 00:05:13,140
A THRIVING DRUG TRADE HAVE ALL
145
00:05:13,140 --> 00:05:15,107
HELPED TO MAKE THIS ONE OF THE
146
00:05:15,107 --> 00:05:16,626
MOST LAWLESS CORNERS OF THE
147
00:05:16,626 --> 00:05:19,422
GLOBE, AND A HUB FOR THE BUYING
148
00:05:19,422 --> 00:05:21,010
AND SELLING OF ENDANGERED
149
00:05:21,010 --> 00:05:23,702
SPECIES.
150
00:05:23,702 --> 00:05:25,255
TASSINI WEDPRONSA IS TRYING TO
151
00:05:25,255 --> 00:05:26,326
PUT A STOP TO THE ILLEGAL
152
00:05:26,326 --> 00:05:29,329
CLOUDED LEOPARD TRADE.
153
00:05:29,329 --> 00:05:30,606
SHE WORKS FOR AN ACTIVIST
154
00:05:30,606 --> 00:05:32,193
ORGANIZATION NAMED "WILDAID
155
00:05:32,193 --> 00:05:35,162
THAILAND."
156
00:05:35,162 --> 00:05:36,128
ITS METHODS ARE OFTEN
157
00:05:36,128 --> 00:05:37,785
CONTROVERSIAL.
158
00:05:37,785 --> 00:05:39,131
AND TODAY, TASSINI IS ARMED WITH
159
00:05:39,131 --> 00:05:41,996
AN UNDERCOVER CAMERA.
160
00:05:41,996 --> 00:05:43,273
SHE'S HOPING TO GATHER EVIDENCE
161
00:05:43,273 --> 00:05:44,999
OF THE ILLEGAL TRADE IN CLOUDED
162
00:05:44,999 --> 00:05:47,554
LEOPARD SKINS.
163
00:05:47,554 --> 00:05:49,694
IF SHE SUCCEEDS, WILD AID CAN
164
00:05:49,694 --> 00:05:51,281
USE THE FOOTAGE TO CONVINCE THAI
165
00:05:51,281 --> 00:05:54,975
AND MYANMAR AUTHORITIES TO CRACK
166
00:05:54,975 --> 00:05:57,840
DOWN.
167
00:05:57,840 --> 00:06:00,049
A NATIVE OF THAILAND, TASSINI
168
00:06:00,049 --> 00:06:05,226
IS HOPING THE SELLERS WILL THINK
169
00:06:05,226 --> 00:06:10,439
SHE'S JUST ANOTHER LOCAL BUYER.
170
00:06:10,439 --> 00:06:12,337
BUT NO ONE KNOWS ABOUT THE TINY
171
00:06:12,337 --> 00:06:13,890
CAMERA THAT TASSINI HAS SEWN
172
00:06:13,890 --> 00:06:17,204
INTO HER SHIRT.
173
00:06:17,204 --> 00:06:21,588
AND NOW, SHE'S ON HER OWN.
174
00:06:21,588 --> 00:06:23,106
IN MANY COUNTRIES, OPENLY
175
00:06:23,106 --> 00:06:24,901
SELLING ENDANGERED ANIMAL PARTS
176
00:06:24,901 --> 00:06:27,214
WOULD BE UNTHINKABLE.
177
00:06:27,214 --> 00:06:28,940
BUT NOT HERE.
178
00:06:28,940 --> 00:06:30,528
LACK OF ENFORCEMENT IS ONE
179
00:06:30,528 --> 00:06:32,288
REASON THESE GOODS ARE FLOODING
180
00:06:32,288 --> 00:06:34,221
IN FROM ACROSS THE REGION,
181
00:06:34,221 --> 00:06:36,775
INCLUDING CHINA, TIBET, AND EVEN
182
00:06:36,775 --> 00:06:37,500
INDIA.
183
00:06:37,500 --> 00:06:38,259
I'M
184
00:06:38,259 --> 00:06:42,678
LOOKING FOR CLOUDED LEOPARD.
185
00:06:42,678 --> 00:06:43,920
FINALLY, TASSINI
186
00:06:43,920 --> 00:06:46,682
FINDS WHAT SHE'S LOOKING FOR.
187
00:06:46,682 --> 00:06:48,408
THE DISTINCT CLOUD-LIKE PATTERN
188
00:06:48,408 --> 00:06:54,586
IS UNMISTAKABLE.
189
00:06:54,586 --> 00:06:57,417
TASSINI HAS HIT THE JACKPOT.
190
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:58,590
THE RISING NUMBER OF CLOUDED
191
00:06:58,590 --> 00:07:00,385
LEOPARD SKINS FOR SALE IN PLACES
192
00:07:00,385 --> 00:07:02,525
LIKE TACHILEK IS ONE REASON
193
00:07:02,525 --> 00:07:04,251
DR. JOGAYLE HOWARD HAS COME
194
00:07:04,251 --> 00:07:06,667
TO THAILAND.
195
00:07:06,667 --> 00:07:07,461
WE HAVE
196
00:07:07,461 --> 00:07:08,842
36 SPECIES OF NONDOMESTIC CATS
197
00:07:08,842 --> 00:07:10,982
ALL OVER THE WORLD, AND MOST OF
198
00:07:10,982 --> 00:07:12,362
THOSE ARE ENDANGERED.
199
00:07:12,362 --> 00:07:13,536
AND CLOUDED LEOPARD IS THE NEXT
200
00:07:13,536 --> 00:07:17,195
SPECIES TO GO IN SOUTHEAST ASIA.
201
00:07:17,195 --> 00:07:18,403
JOGAYLE IS A
202
00:07:18,403 --> 00:07:19,404
VETERINARIAN FROM THE
203
00:07:19,404 --> 00:07:21,095
SMITHSONIAN'S NATIONAL ZOO IN
204
00:07:21,095 --> 00:07:23,097
WASHINGTON, DC.
205
00:07:23,097 --> 00:07:23,960
I FIRST
206
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:24,927
GOT INVOLVED IN CLOUDED
207
00:07:24,927 --> 00:07:25,893
LEOPARDS; ACTUALLY, IT WAS THE
208
00:07:25,893 --> 00:07:27,481
FIRST YEAR I ARRIVED AT THE
209
00:07:27,481 --> 00:07:29,621
NATIONAL ZOO, AND THAT WAS 1980.
210
00:07:29,621 --> 00:07:30,726
IT WAS DIFFICULT TO BREED THEM
211
00:07:30,726 --> 00:07:34,592
THEN, AND IT'S STILL DIFFICULT
212
00:07:34,592 --> 00:07:35,938
TO BREED THEM NOW.
213
00:07:35,938 --> 00:07:36,663
THAILAND'S KHAO
214
00:07:36,663 --> 00:07:38,458
KHEOW ZOO IS THE SITE OF A
215
00:07:38,458 --> 00:07:39,976
UNIQUE CLOUDED LEOPARD SURVIVAL
216
00:07:39,976 --> 00:07:42,427
PROJECT RUN BY THE SMITHSONIAN'S
217
00:07:42,427 --> 00:07:44,394
NATIONAL ZOO, AND THE NASHVILLE
218
00:07:44,394 --> 00:07:47,639
ZOO IN TENNESSEE.
219
00:07:47,639 --> 00:07:49,261
JOGAYLE IS WORKING WITH A JOINT
220
00:07:49,261 --> 00:07:51,954
THAI-AMERICAN TEAM TO TRY AND
221
00:07:51,954 --> 00:07:53,093
BREED CLOUDED LEOPARDS IN
222
00:07:53,093 --> 00:07:55,129
CAPTIVITY.
223
00:07:55,129 --> 00:07:56,821
IT MAY BE THE ONLY WAY TO SAVE
224
00:07:56,821 --> 00:08:01,895
THE SPECIES--
225
00:08:01,895 --> 00:08:02,689
IF THEY CAN SUCCEED.
226
00:08:02,689 --> 00:08:03,448
I THINK WHY
227
00:08:03,448 --> 00:08:04,311
THIS PROJECT IS SO IMPORTANT IS
228
00:08:04,311 --> 00:08:05,795
THAT THIS REALLY IS THE MOST
229
00:08:05,795 --> 00:08:07,625
DIFFICULT CAT, I THINK, TO BREED
230
00:08:07,625 --> 00:08:13,596
IN ALL THE 36 SPECIES OF CATS
231
00:08:13,596 --> 00:08:14,459
THAT WE HAVE TO HELP SAVE.
232
00:08:14,459 --> 00:08:15,425
ONE REASON IT'S SO
233
00:08:15,425 --> 00:08:17,048
HARD TO BREED CLOUDEDS IS A
234
00:08:17,048 --> 00:08:18,981
MYSTERIOUS BEHAVIOR FOUND ONLY
235
00:08:18,981 --> 00:08:21,949
IN MALES.
236
00:08:21,949 --> 00:08:23,261
WHEN A MALE AND FEMALE CLOUDED
237
00:08:23,261 --> 00:08:24,607
ARE PLACED IN THE SAME CAGE TO
238
00:08:24,607 --> 00:08:27,852
MATE, THE MALE CAN SUDDENLY
239
00:08:27,852 --> 00:08:32,442
BECOME AGGRESSIVE AND KILL THE
240
00:08:32,442 --> 00:08:36,930
FEMALE.
241
00:08:36,930 --> 00:08:39,001
NO ONE KNOWS WHY.
242
00:08:39,001 --> 00:08:40,934
TODAY, JOGAYLE AND A TEAM OF
243
00:08:40,934 --> 00:08:42,556
VETERINARIANS ARE VISITING THE
244
00:08:42,556 --> 00:08:44,627
VICTIM OF A MALE ATTACK.
245
00:08:44,627 --> 00:08:46,491
HER NAME IS PUKLUK.
246
00:08:46,491 --> 00:08:47,216
THIS IS A
247
00:08:47,216 --> 00:08:48,942
FEMALE THAT WAS ATTACKED BY A
248
00:08:48,942 --> 00:08:51,289
MALE, AND IT WAS A VERY DRAMATIC
249
00:08:51,289 --> 00:08:52,532
ATTACK. HER LEG HAD TO BE
250
00:08:52,532 --> 00:08:53,498
AMPUTATED, AND THAT'S WHY YOU'LL
251
00:08:53,498 --> 00:08:55,638
SEE HER MISSING FRONT LEG IS
252
00:08:55,638 --> 00:08:58,296
GONE.
253
00:08:58,296 --> 00:08:59,021
MEMBERS OF THE
254
00:08:59,021 --> 00:09:00,401
BREEDING TEAM HAVE WITNESSED
255
00:09:00,401 --> 00:09:02,852
THESE KINDS OF ATTACKS BEFORE.
256
00:09:02,852 --> 00:09:03,681
THEY'VE EVEN CAUGHT ONE ON
257
00:09:03,681 --> 00:09:06,373
VIDEO.
258
00:09:06,373 --> 00:09:07,685
THIS TAPE IS FROM THE SUMMER OF
259
00:09:07,685 --> 00:09:10,135
2003.
260
00:09:10,135 --> 00:09:13,794
IT STARTS AS A PLAYFUL
261
00:09:13,794 --> 00:09:14,588
ENCOUNTER.
262
00:09:14,588 --> 00:09:17,453
FIGHTING.
263
00:09:17,453 --> 00:09:18,350
BUT SUDDENLY, THE
264
00:09:18,350 --> 00:09:20,629
MALE TURNS ON HIS MATE,
265
00:09:20,629 --> 00:09:26,566
LAUNCHING A VICIOUS ASSAULT.
266
00:09:35,022 --> 00:09:35,747
THE FEMALE CAT
267
00:09:35,747 --> 00:09:38,094
FINALLY BREAKS FREE.
268
00:09:38,094 --> 00:09:41,373
THE KEEPERS ARE RELIEVED.
269
00:09:41,373 --> 00:09:45,481
THIS TIME, THE FEMALE WASN'T
270
00:09:45,481 --> 00:09:46,655
INJURED.
271
00:09:46,655 --> 00:09:49,347
BUT PUKLUK WASN'T SO FORTUNATE.
272
00:09:49,347 --> 00:09:51,452
HER ATTACK HAPPENED AT NIGHT.
273
00:09:51,452 --> 00:09:56,319
SHE WAS FOUND THE NEXT MORNING,
274
00:09:56,319 --> 00:09:57,458
LYING IN A POOL OF BLOOD.
275
00:09:57,458 --> 00:09:59,391
TODAY, THE TEAM IS HERE BECAUSE
276
00:09:59,391 --> 00:10:01,117
SHE'S NOT EATING PROPERLY AND
277
00:10:01,117 --> 00:10:03,982
APPEARS WEAK.
278
00:10:03,982 --> 00:10:04,845
THEY NEED TO TAKE HER TO THE
279
00:10:04,845 --> 00:10:08,193
HOSPITAL FOR TESTS.
280
00:10:08,193 --> 00:10:09,643
WHEN THEY TRY TO MOVE HER, SHE
281
00:10:09,643 --> 00:10:15,442
COULD BECOME VIOLENT, SO THEY
282
00:10:15,442 --> 00:10:23,312
USE A TRANQUILIZER DART.
283
00:10:23,312 --> 00:10:24,037
WELL, IT'S
284
00:10:24,037 --> 00:10:25,728
ALWAYS A SPECIAL TREAT TO EVEN
285
00:10:25,728 --> 00:10:26,798
BE NEAR A CLOUDED LEOPARD.
286
00:10:26,798 --> 00:10:28,386
BUT WHEN ONE IS ANESTHETIZED, WE
287
00:10:28,386 --> 00:10:31,251
TRY TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THAT.
288
00:10:31,251 --> 00:10:32,355
FOR JOGAYLE,
289
00:10:32,355 --> 00:10:33,356
CAPTIVE ANIMALS LIKE PUKLUK
290
00:10:33,356 --> 00:10:34,979
OFFER THE ONLY CHANCE SHE MAY
291
00:10:34,979 --> 00:10:38,085
GET TO UNLOCK THE SECRETS OF
292
00:10:38,085 --> 00:10:39,673
CLOUDED LEOPARD BIOLOGY AND
293
00:10:39,673 --> 00:10:42,987
BEHAVIOR.
294
00:10:42,987 --> 00:10:43,884
IT'S UNLIKELY THAT
295
00:10:43,884 --> 00:10:45,541
PUKLUK'S EATING PROBLEM IS
296
00:10:45,541 --> 00:10:47,232
RELATED TO THE ATTACK.
297
00:10:47,232 --> 00:10:48,751
BUT THE DAMAGE IT CAUSED WAS
298
00:10:48,751 --> 00:10:50,857
PERMANENT.
299
00:10:50,857 --> 00:10:51,616
SO HE GOT HER
300
00:10:51,616 --> 00:10:53,273
THROUGH THE CHAIN LINK FENCE,
301
00:10:53,273 --> 00:10:55,585
AND JUST BASICALLY GOT HER LEG
302
00:10:55,585 --> 00:10:56,552
AND RIPPED IT.
303
00:10:56,552 --> 00:10:58,071
THE ONLY ROUTE WE COULD GO WAS
304
00:10:58,071 --> 00:11:00,004
JUST TO AMPUTATE THE LEG AND SHE
305
00:11:00,004 --> 00:11:01,695
HAS BEEN DOING GREAT EVER SINCE,
306
00:11:01,695 --> 00:11:06,873
AND GETS AROUND GREAT AND CLIMBS
307
00:11:06,873 --> 00:11:07,701
JUST LIKE A CLOUDED LEOPARD.
308
00:11:07,701 --> 00:11:08,564
THE INJURIES TO HER
309
00:11:08,564 --> 00:11:10,359
LEG HAVE MADE IT TOO RISKY TO
310
00:11:10,359 --> 00:11:12,810
TRY AND BREED HER AGAIN.
311
00:11:12,810 --> 00:11:13,983
BECAUSE SHE IS MISSING ONE
312
00:11:13,983 --> 00:11:16,123
LIMB, SHE PROBABLY CANNOT STAND
313
00:11:16,123 --> 00:11:18,816
FOR A BREEDING MALE AND REALLY
314
00:11:18,816 --> 00:11:20,231
SUPPORT HIS WEIGHT FOR A
315
00:11:20,231 --> 00:11:20,956
BREEDING ENCOUNTER.
316
00:11:20,956 --> 00:11:21,888
SO THAT'S WHY WE HAVE TO TAKE
317
00:11:21,888 --> 00:11:25,270
HER OUT OF THE BREEDING PROGRAM.
318
00:11:25,270 --> 00:11:26,133
JOGAYLE NEEDS TO
319
00:11:26,133 --> 00:11:27,652
FIND WAYS TO PREVENT FUTURE
320
00:11:27,652 --> 00:11:30,275
ATTACKS.
321
00:11:30,275 --> 00:11:31,276
BUT CLOUDED LEOPARDS ARE NOT
322
00:11:31,276 --> 00:11:33,244
LIKE THEIR LARGER COUSINS,
323
00:11:33,244 --> 00:11:35,073
LIONS AND TIGERS.
324
00:11:35,073 --> 00:11:36,557
SCIENTISTS AND FILMMAKERS HAVE
325
00:11:36,557 --> 00:11:38,387
BEEN ABLE TO OBSERVE AND FILM
326
00:11:38,387 --> 00:11:39,699
THESE CATS IN THE WILD FOR
327
00:11:39,699 --> 00:11:42,529
DECADES.
328
00:11:42,529 --> 00:11:43,599
IT'S ENABLED THEM TO LEARN A
329
00:11:43,599 --> 00:11:46,084
LOT ABOUT HOW THEY LIVE, HUNT,
330
00:11:46,084 --> 00:11:48,811
AND RAISE THEIR YOUNG.
331
00:11:48,811 --> 00:11:50,054
CLOUDEDS ARE A VERY DIFFERENT
332
00:11:50,054 --> 00:11:51,572
STORY.
333
00:11:51,572 --> 00:11:52,677
IT'S JUST VERY DIFFICULT TO
334
00:11:52,677 --> 00:11:53,989
STUDY CLOUDED LEOPARDS IN THE
335
00:11:53,989 --> 00:11:56,923
DENSE FORESTS OF SOUTHEAST ASIA.
336
00:11:56,923 --> 00:11:57,682
AND THAT'S WHAT
337
00:11:57,682 --> 00:11:59,201
MAKES THIS VIDEO FOOTAGE TRULY
338
00:11:59,201 --> 00:12:00,720
AMAZING.
339
00:12:00,720 --> 00:12:03,101
IT'S MAY, 2005.
340
00:12:03,101 --> 00:12:04,585
A GERMAN TOURIST IS FILMING HIS
341
00:12:04,585 --> 00:12:06,173
NIGHT DRIVE THROUGH MALAYSIA'S
342
00:12:06,173 --> 00:12:09,004
TABIN WILDLIFE RESERVE WHEN
343
00:12:09,004 --> 00:12:10,868
SUDDENLY, HIS CAMERA LANDS ON
344
00:12:10,868 --> 00:12:14,837
THE IMPOSSIBLE, THE GHOST CAT, A
345
00:12:14,837 --> 00:12:18,738
LIVING, BREATHING CLOUDED
346
00:12:18,738 --> 00:12:19,946
LEOPARD.
347
00:12:19,946 --> 00:12:21,568
THIS MAY BE THE ONLY EXISTING
348
00:12:21,568 --> 00:12:23,018
FOOTAGE OF A CLOUDED LEOPARD IN
349
00:12:23,018 --> 00:12:25,745
THE WILD.
350
00:12:25,745 --> 00:12:28,471
AND AS SUDDENLY AS IT APPEARED,
351
00:12:28,471 --> 00:12:33,097
THE ELUSIVE PREDATOR SLIPS BACK
352
00:12:33,097 --> 00:12:40,173
INTO THE NIGHT.
353
00:12:40,173 --> 00:12:42,175
A CHANCE SIGHTING LIKE THIS ONE
354
00:12:42,175 --> 00:12:47,180
IS WHAT KANDA AND THE RANGERS
355
00:12:47,180 --> 00:12:48,319
HAVE BEEN HOPING FOR FOR YEARS.
356
00:12:48,319 --> 00:12:49,630
THEY KNOW EVIDENCE OF THE CATS
357
00:12:49,630 --> 00:12:52,288
COULD BE ANYWHERE.
358
00:12:52,288 --> 00:12:56,948
BUT TODAY, AGAIN, THERE'S NOT
359
00:12:56,948 --> 00:12:57,984
EVEN A TRACE.
360
00:12:57,984 --> 00:12:58,743
I'VE COME TO LOOK
361
00:12:58,743 --> 00:13:01,746
FOR ANIMAL TRACKS IN THE DAYTIME
362
00:13:01,746 --> 00:13:02,712
BUT THAT'S THE OPPOSITE OF
363
00:13:02,712 --> 00:13:04,093
ANIMALS LIKE THE CLOUDED
364
00:13:04,093 --> 00:13:05,405
LEOPARD.
365
00:13:05,405 --> 00:13:07,131
THEY'RE ACTIVE AT NIGHT, HUNTING
366
00:13:07,131 --> 00:13:11,583
PREY, LIKE BIRDS AND DEER.
367
00:13:11,583 --> 00:13:12,308
BUT KANDA DOESN'T
368
00:13:12,308 --> 00:13:14,966
HUNT CLOUDED LEOPARDS AT NIGHT.
369
00:13:14,966 --> 00:13:16,381
POACHERS AND PREDATORS LIKE
370
00:13:16,381 --> 00:13:20,040
BEARS MAKE IT TOO DANGEROUS.
371
00:13:20,040 --> 00:13:21,766
INSTEAD, SHE AND THE RANGERS ARE
372
00:13:21,766 --> 00:13:26,288
PLACING SPECIAL CAMERA TRAPS IN
373
00:13:26,288 --> 00:13:28,186
THE FOREST.
374
00:13:28,186 --> 00:13:29,256
THEY WILL BE HER EYES IN THE
375
00:13:29,256 --> 00:13:31,431
DARKNESS.
376
00:13:31,431 --> 00:13:33,019
AN INFRARED HEAT SENSOR WILL
377
00:13:33,019 --> 00:13:34,883
TRIGGER THE CAMERA'S SHUTTER
378
00:13:34,883 --> 00:13:36,229
WHENEVER AN ANIMAL CROSSES ITS
379
00:13:36,229 --> 00:13:38,472
BEAM.
380
00:13:38,472 --> 00:13:39,853
EVEN A SINGLE IMAGE COULD SHED
381
00:13:39,853 --> 00:13:41,303
LIGHT ON THE GHOST CAT'S
382
00:13:41,303 --> 00:13:44,789
MYSTERIOUS BEHAVIOR.
383
00:13:44,789 --> 00:13:46,480
BUT MOST OF ALL, KANDA WANTS TO
384
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:47,965
CONFIRM THAT THEY'RE ACTUALLY
385
00:13:47,965 --> 00:13:49,932
STILL HERE.
386
00:13:49,932 --> 00:13:51,002
OKAY.
387
00:13:51,002 --> 00:13:54,972
THEY'LL COME BACK
388
00:13:54,972 --> 00:13:57,457
LATER TO COLLECT THE FILM.
389
00:13:57,457 --> 00:13:58,872
IT MAY SEEM SURPRISING THAT
390
00:13:58,872 --> 00:14:00,529
CLOUDED LEOPARDS ARE SO HARD TO
391
00:14:00,529 --> 00:14:03,670
SEE IN THE WILD--
392
00:14:03,670 --> 00:14:05,051
ESPECIALLY WHEN YOU ENTER THE
393
00:14:05,051 --> 00:14:06,397
MYANMAR BORDER TOWN OF
394
00:14:06,397 --> 00:14:08,261
TACHILEK--
395
00:14:08,261 --> 00:14:09,710
AND DISCOVER THAT THESE ELUSIVE
396
00:14:09,710 --> 00:14:14,923
CATS CAN SUDDENLY APPEAR
397
00:14:14,923 --> 00:14:18,512
ANYWHERE.
398
00:14:18,512 --> 00:14:20,169
TASSINI WEDPRONSA, FROM THE
399
00:14:20,169 --> 00:14:20,894
ACTIVIST ORGANIZATION,
400
00:14:20,894 --> 00:14:23,241
"WILDAID THAILAND,"
401
00:14:23,241 --> 00:14:24,691
IS STILL TRYING TO GATHER
402
00:14:24,691 --> 00:14:26,382
EVIDENCE OF THE ILLEGAL TRADE IN
403
00:14:26,382 --> 00:14:29,109
CLOUDED LEOPARDS.
404
00:14:29,109 --> 00:14:30,524
SHE THINKS SHE'S FOUND A MAJOR
405
00:14:30,524 --> 00:14:32,768
SUPPLIER, AND WITH A HIDDEN
406
00:14:32,768 --> 00:14:34,977
CAMERA IN HER SHIRT ROLLING,
407
00:14:34,977 --> 00:14:36,530
SHE'S TRYING TO GET HIM TO TELL
408
00:14:36,530 --> 00:14:38,187
HER HOW HIS BUSINESS ACTUALLY
409
00:14:38,187 --> 00:14:39,671
WORKS.
410
00:14:39,671 --> 00:14:40,949
YOU CUT THEM.
411
00:14:40,949 --> 00:14:43,537
WHY? BECAUSE YOU TRAP THEM?
412
00:14:43,537 --> 00:14:47,265
YOU USED A TRAP TO CATCH?
413
00:14:47,265 --> 00:14:48,888
OH!
414
00:14:48,888 --> 00:14:49,647
SCIENTISTS BELIEVE
415
00:14:49,647 --> 00:14:51,683
THERE MAY BE AS FEW AS 10,000
416
00:14:51,683 --> 00:14:52,857
CLOUDED LEOPARDS LEFT IN THE
417
00:14:52,857 --> 00:14:53,651
WILD.
418
00:14:53,651 --> 00:14:54,376
YOU DON'T LIKE SHOOT
419
00:14:54,376 --> 00:14:55,101
THEM?
420
00:14:55,101 --> 00:14:55,860
NO ONE KNOWS HOW
421
00:14:55,860 --> 00:14:56,688
MANY OF THESE ARE KILLED FOR
422
00:14:56,688 --> 00:14:59,001
THEIR SKINS EVERY YEAR.
423
00:14:59,001 --> 00:15:01,107
BUT THIS TRADER ASSURES TASSINI
424
00:15:01,107 --> 00:15:02,902
HE CAN PROVIDE PLENTY MORE.
425
00:15:02,902 --> 00:15:03,764
NEXT TIME IF I
426
00:15:03,764 --> 00:15:04,593
SAY--
427
00:15:04,593 --> 00:15:07,320
MANY. HOW MANY?
428
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,804
EIGHTY.
429
00:15:08,804 --> 00:15:11,393
EIGHTY PIECES.
430
00:15:11,393 --> 00:15:13,188
YOU HAVE 80 PIECES.
431
00:15:13,188 --> 00:15:13,947
TOO MANY QUESTIONS
432
00:15:13,947 --> 00:15:16,122
MIGHT BLOW HER COVER, SO TASSINI
433
00:15:16,122 --> 00:15:17,951
PRETENDS SHE'S READY TO BUY.
434
00:15:17,951 --> 00:15:19,228
FIVE, TEN.
435
00:15:19,228 --> 00:15:21,886
OKAY. I'LL TAKE THIS ONE.
436
00:15:21,886 --> 00:15:23,405
SHE STRIKES A DEAL.
437
00:15:23,405 --> 00:15:24,716
TWO COMPLETE CLOUDED LEOPARD
438
00:15:24,716 --> 00:15:26,580
SKINS FOR 100 US DOLLARS A
439
00:15:26,580 --> 00:15:28,444
PIECE.
440
00:15:28,444 --> 00:15:30,170
AND THEN, SHE TAKES IT ONE STEP
441
00:15:30,170 --> 00:15:31,723
FURTHER.
442
00:15:31,723 --> 00:15:32,932
CAN YOU SEND TO MY
443
00:15:32,932 --> 00:15:34,726
HOTEL? I DON'T WANT TO CARRY
444
00:15:34,726 --> 00:15:35,762
THIS MYSELF.
445
00:15:35,762 --> 00:15:36,970
SHE TELLS THEM SHE
446
00:15:36,970 --> 00:15:38,109
NEEDS TO GET THE GOODS BACK TO
447
00:15:38,109 --> 00:15:39,455
THAILAND, ACROSS THE
448
00:15:39,455 --> 00:15:42,251
INTERNATIONAL BORDER.
449
00:15:42,251 --> 00:15:43,666
THE SELLER AGREES TO SMUGGLE
450
00:15:43,666 --> 00:15:46,635
THEM AT HIS OWN RISK.
451
00:15:46,635 --> 00:15:48,948
THE OFFER IS SIGNIFICANT.
452
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:50,466
THE EASIER IT IS TO CROSS
453
00:15:50,466 --> 00:15:51,812
BORDERS WITH ILLEGAL ANIMAL
454
00:15:51,812 --> 00:15:53,953
SKINS, THE BIGGER THE POTENTIAL
455
00:15:53,953 --> 00:15:56,507
MARKET, AND THE GREATER THE
456
00:15:56,507 --> 00:15:57,957
CHANCES THAT MORE ENDANGERED
457
00:15:57,957 --> 00:16:01,443
ANIMALS WILL BE KILLED FOR
458
00:16:01,443 --> 00:16:02,375
PROFIT.
459
00:16:02,375 --> 00:16:03,376
WITH EVERYTHING CAUGHT ON HER
460
00:16:03,376 --> 00:16:05,930
CAMERA, TASSINI SAYS SHE'LL
461
00:16:05,930 --> 00:16:06,966
COME BACK LATER TO SEAL THE
462
00:16:06,966 --> 00:16:09,278
DEAL.
463
00:16:09,278 --> 00:16:10,486
OKAY.
464
00:16:10,486 --> 00:16:12,488
ALL RIGHT. SEE YOU.
465
00:16:12,488 --> 00:16:13,213
LITTLE DO THE
466
00:16:13,213 --> 00:16:17,528
SELLERS KNOW, SHE WON'T BE BACK.
467
00:16:17,528 --> 00:16:18,978
TASSINI WILL USE THE FOOTAGE SHE
468
00:16:18,978 --> 00:16:21,221
SHOT TO CONVINCE THAI AND
469
00:16:21,221 --> 00:16:23,085
MYANMAR OFFICIALS THAT THE TRADE
470
00:16:23,085 --> 00:16:24,811
IN CLOUDED LEOPARDS IS BOOMING
471
00:16:24,811 --> 00:16:29,540
AND NEEDS TO BE STOPPED BEFORE
472
00:16:29,540 --> 00:16:30,610
IT'S TOO LATE.
473
00:16:30,610 --> 00:16:32,508
BUT IN THIS PART OF THE WORLD,
474
00:16:32,508 --> 00:16:33,682
CUTTING OFF THE CROSS BORDER
475
00:16:33,682 --> 00:16:34,924
TRADE OF ENDANGERED SPECIES
476
00:16:34,924 --> 00:16:40,551
ISN'T SO EASY.
477
00:16:40,551 --> 00:16:41,759
AND IT'S NOT HARD TO SEE WHY.
478
00:16:41,759 --> 00:16:43,381
ONLY THE NARROW MAE SAI RIVER
479
00:16:43,381 --> 00:16:47,420
SEPARATES THAILAND FROM MYANMAR.
480
00:16:47,420 --> 00:16:50,526
MOST PEOPLE CROSS THE OFFICIAL
481
00:16:50,526 --> 00:16:51,769
WAY.
482
00:16:51,769 --> 00:16:53,184
BUT OUR CAMERA CAPTURES SOMEONE
483
00:16:53,184 --> 00:16:55,428
WAITING ACROSS THE BORDER,
484
00:16:55,428 --> 00:16:56,774
DIRECTLY UNDER THE IMMIGRATION
485
00:16:56,774 --> 00:16:58,638
BRIDGE AND THE EYES OF THE
486
00:16:58,638 --> 00:17:01,779
OFFICIALS.
487
00:17:01,779 --> 00:17:03,298
AS HE ARRIVES, A BOX IS
488
00:17:03,298 --> 00:17:06,301
MYSTERIOUSLY TOSSED FROM ABOVE.
489
00:17:06,301 --> 00:17:07,957
WHO KNOWS WHAT ILLEGAL GOODS IT
490
00:17:07,957 --> 00:17:10,374
COULD HOLD?
491
00:17:10,374 --> 00:17:11,513
WITH LOOSE IMMIGRATION AND
492
00:17:11,513 --> 00:17:13,618
CUSTOMS CONTROLS, THERE ARE MANY
493
00:17:13,618 --> 00:17:15,413
WAYS TO SMUGGLE ENDANGERED
494
00:17:15,413 --> 00:17:19,417
ANIMAL PARTS ACROSS AN
495
00:17:19,417 --> 00:17:20,487
INTERNATIONAL BORDER.
496
00:17:20,487 --> 00:17:25,527
SMUGGLERS HAVE BEEN DOING IT
497
00:17:25,527 --> 00:17:27,425
WITH OTHER BIG CATS FOR DECADES.
498
00:17:27,425 --> 00:17:29,324
BUT WITH FEWER THAN 7,000 TIGERS
499
00:17:29,324 --> 00:17:31,705
LEFT IN THE WILD TODAY, TIGER
500
00:17:31,705 --> 00:17:36,227
PARTS ARE HARDER TO FIND IN
501
00:17:36,227 --> 00:17:37,263
MARKETS LIKE THIS ONE.
502
00:17:37,263 --> 00:17:38,505
EXPERTS BELIEVE THAT CLOUDED
503
00:17:38,505 --> 00:17:39,782
LEOPARDS HAVE BECOME THE NEXT
504
00:17:39,782 --> 00:17:43,614
CAT OF CHOICE IN THE ILLEGAL
505
00:17:43,614 --> 00:17:45,305
TRADE.
506
00:17:45,305 --> 00:17:47,031
THE CANINES OF CLOUDEDS ARE TORN
507
00:17:47,031 --> 00:17:50,172
OUT AND SOLD AS EXOTIC JEWELRY.
508
00:17:50,172 --> 00:17:51,553
THEIR SKINS ARE USED TO MAKE
509
00:17:51,553 --> 00:17:53,796
CLOTHES.
510
00:17:53,796 --> 00:17:55,384
SOME MEN BELIEVE THAT EATING THE
511
00:17:55,384 --> 00:17:57,076
FLESH OF CLOUDEDS WILL INCREASE
512
00:17:57,076 --> 00:17:59,457
THEIR STRENGTH.
513
00:17:59,457 --> 00:18:01,390
AND SOMETIMES, CLOUDED LEOPARDS
514
00:18:01,390 --> 00:18:03,634
ARE EVEN SOLD ALIVE.
515
00:18:03,634 --> 00:18:04,773
IN AN ILLEGAL ANIMAL MARKET IN
516
00:18:04,773 --> 00:18:06,982
VIETNAM, THIS YOUNG CUB WAS FOR
517
00:18:06,982 --> 00:18:08,432
SALE.
518
00:18:08,432 --> 00:18:11,366
IT'S PRICE, $1,000, ALMOST
519
00:18:11,366 --> 00:18:13,022
TWICE THE AVERAGE ANNUAL INCOME
520
00:18:13,022 --> 00:18:15,887
IN VIETNAM.
521
00:18:15,887 --> 00:18:20,375
THE ULTIMATE FATE OF THIS CUB
522
00:18:20,375 --> 00:18:21,272
WILL NEVER BE KNOWN.
523
00:18:21,272 --> 00:18:23,102
TODAY, ALL SIGNS POINT TO THE
524
00:18:23,102 --> 00:18:24,655
FACT THAT CLOUDED LEOPARDS ARE
525
00:18:24,655 --> 00:18:30,626
BEING BOUGHT, SMUGGLED, AND SOLD
526
00:18:30,626 --> 00:18:31,627
IN GREATER AND GREATER NUMBERS.
527
00:18:31,627 --> 00:18:36,425
AND THAT'S WHAT'S DRIVING THE
528
00:18:36,425 --> 00:18:37,254
MEN WHO ACTUALLY KILL THE CATS--
529
00:18:37,254 --> 00:18:40,429
POACHERS.
530
00:18:40,429 --> 00:18:42,293
WE CONVINCED THESE TWO TO SHOW
531
00:18:42,293 --> 00:18:43,846
US HOW THEY FIND AND CATCH
532
00:18:43,846 --> 00:18:45,745
CLOUDED LEOPARDS.
533
00:18:45,745 --> 00:18:49,680
BUT WE HAD TO AGREE NOT TO
534
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:51,302
IDENTIFY THEM.
535
00:18:51,302 --> 00:18:53,304
THESE POACHERS HUNT THE CATS,
536
00:18:53,304 --> 00:18:54,305
EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW IT COULD
537
00:18:54,305 --> 00:18:58,482
LAND THEM IN PRISON FOR UP TO
538
00:18:58,482 --> 00:19:00,035
FOUR YEARS.
539
00:19:00,035 --> 00:19:01,416
THE SKIN OF A SINGLE CLOUDED
540
00:19:01,416 --> 00:19:03,038
LEOPARD CAN BRING THEM $50,
541
00:19:03,038 --> 00:19:09,389
ROUGHLY THE SAME AS THE AVERAGE
542
00:19:09,389 --> 00:19:13,152
WEEKLY WAGE IN THAILAND.
543
00:19:14,222 --> 00:19:15,361
MOVEMENT IN A NEARBY TREE
544
00:19:15,361 --> 00:19:21,298
CATCHES THEIR ATTENTION.
545
00:19:21,298 --> 00:19:23,610
THE HUNT IS ON.
546
00:19:23,610 --> 00:19:26,924
THEY'RE HOPING IT'S A CLOUDED
547
00:19:26,924 --> 00:19:32,792
LEOPARD.
548
00:19:32,792 --> 00:19:35,415
THIS TIME, IT WASN'T A CLOUDED,
549
00:19:35,415 --> 00:19:39,074
BUT AN ORIENTAL PIED HORNBILL.
550
00:19:39,074 --> 00:19:40,524
POACHERS KILL THEM TO EAT THEIR
551
00:19:40,524 --> 00:19:42,042
FLESH.
552
00:19:42,042 --> 00:19:42,905
THEY'RE NOT YET ON THE
553
00:19:42,905 --> 00:19:49,188
ENDANGERED LIST, BUT COULD BE
554
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:51,638
SOON IF THE KILLINGS CONTINUE.
555
00:19:51,638 --> 00:19:52,915
THE REASON THESE HUNTERS ARE
556
00:19:52,915 --> 00:19:54,400
MORE SUCCESSFUL THAN RESEARCHERS
557
00:19:54,400 --> 00:19:55,642
LIKE KANDA AT FINDING CLOUDEDS
558
00:19:55,642 --> 00:19:57,541
IN THE WILD IS A MATTER OF TIME
559
00:19:57,541 --> 00:20:01,027
AND MONEY.
560
00:20:01,027 --> 00:20:02,753
WITH PROFIT AT STAKE, THEY'RE
561
00:20:02,753 --> 00:20:04,237
WILLING TO STAY IN THE FOREST
562
00:20:04,237 --> 00:20:07,723
FOR UP TO 20 DAYS AT A TIME.
563
00:20:07,723 --> 00:20:09,967
AND THEY HUNT DAY--
564
00:20:09,967 --> 00:20:11,451
AND NIGHT.
565
00:20:11,451 --> 00:20:12,211
AT NIGHT, THEY
566
00:20:12,211 --> 00:20:14,213
WILL COME CLOSER, BUT IN THE
567
00:20:14,213 --> 00:20:19,908
DAY, THEY REMAIN FAR AWAY
568
00:20:19,908 --> 00:20:23,256
BECAUSE THEY ARE AFRAID OF YOU.
569
00:20:23,256 --> 00:20:24,015
TONIGHT, THE
570
00:20:24,015 --> 00:20:25,154
POACHERS ARE HOPING A DEAD
571
00:20:25,154 --> 00:20:26,742
CHICKEN WILL LURE THE CATS TO A
572
00:20:26,742 --> 00:20:28,227
TRAP.
573
00:20:28,227 --> 00:20:29,331
THE POACHERS SAY THEY'LL FINISH
574
00:20:29,331 --> 00:20:33,024
IT OFF WITH A BULLET TO THE
575
00:20:33,024 --> 00:20:35,475
HEAD.
576
00:20:35,475 --> 00:20:37,684
EACH CAT THAT THE POACHERS KILL
577
00:20:37,684 --> 00:20:39,272
MEANS THE LOSS OF GENERATIONS OF
578
00:20:39,272 --> 00:20:40,825
POTENTIAL CLOUDED LEOPARD
579
00:20:40,825 --> 00:20:42,931
OFFSPRING.
580
00:20:42,931 --> 00:20:44,795
THAT'S WHY DR. JOGAYLE HOWARD'S
581
00:20:44,795 --> 00:20:46,555
PROJECT AT THE KHAO KHEOW
582
00:20:46,555 --> 00:20:48,730
BREEDING CENTER IS SO CRUCIAL TO
583
00:20:48,730 --> 00:20:52,561
THEIR SURVIVAL OF THE SPECIES.
584
00:20:52,561 --> 00:20:54,011
AND AFTER YEARS OF PATIENT AND
585
00:20:54,011 --> 00:20:55,702
OFTEN DISTRESSING WORK, THERE
586
00:20:55,702 --> 00:20:59,775
ARE SIGNS OF SUCCESS.
587
00:20:59,775 --> 00:21:01,225
SHE'S COME TO THAILAND JUST IN
588
00:21:01,225 --> 00:21:03,089
TIME TO BE ON HAND WHEN A FEMALE
589
00:21:03,089 --> 00:21:04,435
CAT NAMED NUMFUN DELIVERS
590
00:21:04,435 --> 00:21:06,886
HER CUBS.
591
00:21:06,886 --> 00:21:07,611
THEY TOOK A
592
00:21:07,611 --> 00:21:08,612
LONG TIME, AND A LOT OF
593
00:21:08,612 --> 00:21:11,097
PATIENCE.
594
00:21:11,097 --> 00:21:12,236
IT PAID OFF AND HOPEFULLY,
595
00:21:12,236 --> 00:21:14,480
SHE'LL BE A GOOD MOTHER.
596
00:21:14,480 --> 00:21:15,343
THREE YEARS AGO,
597
00:21:15,343 --> 00:21:21,970
THE TEAM CHOSE A MATE FOR
598
00:21:21,970 --> 00:21:23,282
NUMFUN, A MALE CAT NAMED SONGLA.
599
00:21:23,282 --> 00:21:24,628
BUT IT TOOK ALMOST TWO YEARS
600
00:21:24,628 --> 00:21:28,148
FOR THE CATS TO SUCCESSFULLY
601
00:21:28,148 --> 00:21:32,394
MATE.
602
00:21:32,394 --> 00:21:33,671
NUMFUN SURVIVED HER FIRST
603
00:21:33,671 --> 00:21:35,259
BREEDING ENCOUNTER AND CARRIED
604
00:21:35,259 --> 00:21:39,021
HER CUB TO TERM.
605
00:21:39,021 --> 00:21:42,128
IT WAS A THRILLING TRIUMPH.
606
00:21:42,128 --> 00:21:43,267
BUT WHAT FOLLOWED WAS
607
00:21:43,267 --> 00:21:45,511
HEARTBREAKING.
608
00:21:45,511 --> 00:21:46,270
BECAUSE NUMFUN
609
00:21:46,270 --> 00:21:47,823
WAS NOT A TAME ANIMAL, AND NOT
610
00:21:47,823 --> 00:21:49,722
USED TO PEOPLE AT ALL, SHE WAS
611
00:21:49,722 --> 00:21:52,863
VERY SCARED OF PEOPLE, REALLY,
612
00:21:52,863 --> 00:21:54,589
AND ANY NOISE, BUT EVEN WHEN THE
613
00:21:54,589 --> 00:21:56,522
FIRST CUB CAME, SHE HAD NEVER
614
00:21:56,522 --> 00:21:58,455
HAD A CUB. SO IT SCARED HER
615
00:21:58,455 --> 00:22:00,319
PROBABLY, AND THEN SHE DID KILL
616
00:22:00,319 --> 00:22:02,321
THE CUB.
617
00:22:02,321 --> 00:22:03,080
THE NERVOUS
618
00:22:03,080 --> 00:22:05,462
FIRST-TIME MOTHER KILLED HER CUB
619
00:22:05,462 --> 00:22:08,672
WHEN IT WAS BORN.
620
00:22:08,672 --> 00:22:09,466
NOW THAT NUMFUN IS PREGNANT
621
00:22:09,466 --> 00:22:11,295
AGAIN, THEY'RE WORRIED THAT THE
622
00:22:11,295 --> 00:22:14,781
SAME THING COULD HAPPEN.
623
00:22:14,781 --> 00:22:16,196
JOGAYLE AND THE TEAM USE A
624
00:22:16,196 --> 00:22:18,095
MONITOR TO WATCH NUMFUN
625
00:22:18,095 --> 00:22:22,755
FROM A DISTANCE SO THEY DON'T
626
00:22:22,755 --> 00:22:26,103
DISTURB HER.
627
00:22:26,103 --> 00:22:29,969
JOGAYLE IS NERVOUS, BUT EXCITED.
628
00:22:29,969 --> 00:22:30,797
NUMFUN IS THE FIRST CLOUDED
629
00:22:30,797 --> 00:22:35,802
LEOPARD EVER TO BE FILMED GIVING
630
00:22:35,802 --> 00:22:38,115
BIRTH.
631
00:22:38,115 --> 00:22:39,599
THE NATURAL AND HUMAN FORCES
632
00:22:39,599 --> 00:22:40,773
THAT THREATEN CLOUDED LEOPARD
633
00:22:40,773 --> 00:22:43,016
SURVIVAL LEAVE MANY UNANSWERED
634
00:22:43,016 --> 00:22:44,846
QUESTIONS.
635
00:22:44,846 --> 00:22:46,951
HOW MANY MORE CATS WILL POACHERS
636
00:22:46,951 --> 00:22:48,919
KILL AND SELL BEFORE IT'S TOO
637
00:22:48,919 --> 00:22:51,853
LATE?
638
00:22:51,853 --> 00:22:53,095
ON LAWLESS BORDERS LIKE THIS
639
00:22:53,095 --> 00:22:55,304
ONE, WILL THE MAJOR TRADERS OF
640
00:22:55,304 --> 00:22:59,688
CLOUDED LEOPARD SKINS EVER BE
641
00:22:59,688 --> 00:23:01,207
CAUGHT?
642
00:23:01,207 --> 00:23:03,002
WILL RESEARCHERS IN THE WILD BE
643
00:23:03,002 --> 00:23:04,866
ABLE TO OBSERVE EVEN BASIC
644
00:23:04,866 --> 00:23:07,869
CLOUDED LEOPARD BEHAVIORS?
645
00:23:07,869 --> 00:23:10,112
AND, WILL SCIENTISTS FIND WAYS
646
00:23:10,112 --> 00:23:15,566
TO OVERCOME THE DANGERS THAT
647
00:23:15,566 --> 00:23:16,498
CLOUDEDS POSE TO THEMSELVES?
648
00:23:16,498 --> 00:23:21,503
TONIGHT, JOGAYLE BELIEVES SHE
649
00:23:21,503 --> 00:23:22,401
MAY BE CLOSER TO FINDING OUT.
650
00:23:22,401 --> 00:23:23,160
SHE, AT LEAST
651
00:23:23,160 --> 00:23:24,748
NOW, KNOWS WHAT TO EXPECT, AND
652
00:23:24,748 --> 00:23:26,059
HOPEFULLY WILL NOT FREAK OUT
653
00:23:26,059 --> 00:23:29,200
WHEN SHE FIRST SEES THAT CUB.
654
00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,066
NUMFUN CIRCLES
655
00:23:33,066 --> 00:23:35,931
ONE LAST TIME--
656
00:23:35,931 --> 00:23:38,175
AND FINALLY, A TINY TAIL
657
00:23:38,175 --> 00:23:41,765
EMERGES. IT'S A CUB.
658
00:23:41,765 --> 00:23:43,042
THE FIRST TIME SHE GAVE BIRTH TO
659
00:23:43,042 --> 00:23:44,837
ONE, THE NERVOUS MOTHER KILLED
660
00:23:44,837 --> 00:23:46,045
IT.
661
00:23:46,045 --> 00:23:48,461
THIS TIME, JOGAYLE AND RICK HOLD
662
00:23:48,461 --> 00:23:54,260
THEIR BREATH AS NUMFUN DELIVERS
663
00:23:54,260 --> 00:24:06,168
THREE MORE CUBS.
664
00:24:06,168 --> 00:24:09,378
AND THEN, JOGAYLE SEES NUMFUN
665
00:24:09,378 --> 00:24:11,450
NURSING AND CLEANING HER CUBS,
666
00:24:11,450 --> 00:24:13,521
CALMLY.
667
00:24:13,521 --> 00:24:14,970
IT'S EXACTLY WHAT SHE WAS HOPING
668
00:24:14,970 --> 00:24:19,596
FOR.
669
00:24:19,596 --> 00:24:24,083
THE CUBS ARE SAFE.
670
00:24:24,083 --> 00:24:27,120
THAT'S PERFECT.
671
00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:27,983
AFTER THREE DECADES
672
00:24:27,983 --> 00:24:29,398
OF TRYING TO OVERCOME THE
673
00:24:29,398 --> 00:24:32,125
CHALLENGES OF BREEDING CLOUDEDS,
674
00:24:32,125 --> 00:24:33,817
THE SAFE BIRTH OF NUMFUN'S CUBS
675
00:24:33,817 --> 00:24:36,164
IS EVIDENCE THAT SCIENTISTS
676
00:24:36,164 --> 00:24:38,338
ARE FINALLY GETTING CLOSER TO
677
00:24:38,338 --> 00:24:39,788
BEING ABLE TO SAVE CLOUDED
678
00:24:39,788 --> 00:24:46,519
LEOPARDS IN CAPTIVITY, AND MAYBE
679
00:24:46,519 --> 00:24:49,764
ONE DAY IN THE WILD.
680
00:24:49,764 --> 00:24:50,661
THE TIME HAS COME FOR KANDA
681
00:24:50,661 --> 00:24:51,938
TO COLLECT THE FILM FROM HER
682
00:24:51,938 --> 00:24:54,562
CAMERAS.
683
00:24:54,562 --> 00:24:56,840
THE CAMERA TRAPS HAVE WORKED.
684
00:24:56,840 --> 00:24:58,255
THEIR PICTURES BRING ALIVE A
685
00:24:58,255 --> 00:25:00,360
NIGHTTIME WORLD THAT FEW HUMANS
686
00:25:00,360 --> 00:25:03,778
WILL EVER SEE FOR THEMSELVES.
687
00:25:03,778 --> 00:25:06,090
A PAIR OF PORCUPINES--
688
00:25:06,090 --> 00:25:08,127
A CURIOUS CIVET--
689
00:25:08,127 --> 00:25:09,853
A BARKING DEER--
690
00:25:09,853 --> 00:25:11,371
ALL POTENTIAL CLOUDED LEOPARD
691
00:25:11,371 --> 00:25:13,201
PREY.
692
00:25:13,201 --> 00:25:14,513
CLOUDED LEOPARD COMPETITORS,
693
00:25:14,513 --> 00:25:15,583
TOO.
694
00:25:15,583 --> 00:25:18,068
AN ASIAN JACKAL--
695
00:25:18,068 --> 00:25:20,898
A MALAYAN SUN BEAR--
696
00:25:20,898 --> 00:25:22,521
THE CAMERAS HAVE EVEN CAUGHT
697
00:25:22,521 --> 00:25:25,075
ARMED POACHERS--
698
00:25:25,075 --> 00:25:28,112
AND CLOUDED LEOPARDS.
699
00:25:28,112 --> 00:25:29,493
THIS ONE LOOKS LIKE A FULL GROWN
700
00:25:29,493 --> 00:25:30,977
MALE.
701
00:25:30,977 --> 00:25:31,978
PERHAPS IT WAS SEARCHING FOR
702
00:25:31,978 --> 00:25:35,568
FOOD, OR TRACKING A MATE, OR
703
00:25:35,568 --> 00:25:39,538
EVEN TRYING TO EVADE POACHERS.
704
00:25:39,538 --> 00:25:41,229
AT LEAST NOW, KANDA HAS CONCRETE
705
00:25:41,229 --> 00:25:42,713
EVIDENCE THAT CLOUDED LEOPARDS
706
00:25:42,713 --> 00:25:45,544
ARE STILL OUT THERE.
707
00:25:45,544 --> 00:25:48,305
AND SHE'S HOPEFUL THAT ONE DAY,
708
00:25:48,305 --> 00:25:56,555
SHE WILL ACTUALLY SEE ONE FOR
HERSELF.
