By Ashley Killough, Andy Rose and Zoe Sottile | CNNA clouded leopard whose disappearance prompted the closure of the Dallas Zoo was found Friday night, zoo officials said. “We are thrilled to report we located clouded leopard Nova on-grounds at the Zoo this afternoon at approximated 4:40 p.m.,” a zoo spokesperson said in a written statement. Clouded leopards are categorized as “vulnerable” by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature due to habitat loss and poaching. In March, the zoo posted a video on its YouTube channel of its two clouded leopard sisters, Nova and Luna. The sisters arrived at the Dallas Zoo from the Houston Zoo, she said.
