Philadelphia Zoo adds new leopard as part of species survival plan

PHILADELPHIA -- Just before they closed their doors due to the pandemic, the Philadelphia Zoo added a new member to its family.

The new male Amur leopard is an important part of the species survival plan and a full circle moment for Philadelphia Zoo.

With less than 100 Amur leopards left in the wild, the zoo hopes to spark some magic.
