This weekend is visitor's last chance to see all four clouded leopard cubs at Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium in Tacoma.

In early October, brothers Banyan and Teak are headed to meet their future mates at Tangayika Wildlife Park in Wichita, Kansas.

Female cub Orchid and the third male, Kapok, will stay at Point Defiance.

Weather permitting, the public will be able to see the clouded leopard quadruplets between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. in the Wild Wonders Outdoor Theater Exercise Yard.

The quadruplets were born on May 12 to Chai Li and her mate, Nah Fun.

Celebrate Sumatran cubs first birthday

There will also be a birthday party for Sumatran tiger cubs Dari, Indah and Kirana on Saturday.

The cubs, who each weigh around 150 pounds, will celebrate their first birthday around 12:30 p.m.

Sumatran tigers are critically endangered -- an estimated 300 remain in the wild on the Indonesian island of Sumatra.

It's not known how many clouded leopards live in the wild, but scientists say they face increasing pressure from habitat loss.
