The Phnom Tamao Zoo and Wildlife Rescue Center in Cambodia received the three female leopard kittens on Oct. 12, after they were rescued by a fisherman in a flooded area. One has since died.

The zoo was set up to preserve and rescue rare and endangered local wildlife. Some rare species housed there include; tigers, leopards, a lion and several species of exotic birds. At least two dozen of the species at the zoo are endangered.
