Mar. 02, 2012 - The world's only ''Leopons''-Are Growing Up. Rare Offspring At Japanese Zoo: The 190 day old ''Leopon'' cubs-half leopard and half lion-born at the Hanshin Park Zoo, near Kobe, Japan-are growing into fine looking animals. Their father is a leopard and the mother a lioness-they are a male and a female-and while the female can climb the tree in the cage-the male is unable to do so-he is rather more clumsy. The coat of the female is getting lighter-while that of the male-darker. Photo shows
