Clouded Leopard

Clouded leopards are found in the rainforests of the Himalayan foothills from Southeast Asia to China. Scientists believe they represent an evolutionary link between small cats and big cats, and they are classified as vulnerable.

Clouded leopards have spots that are more similar to blotches, resulting in their “clouded” name. They have exceptionally long canine teeth for their body size and are sometimes referred to as a “modern-day saber tooth.” They are crepuscular, which means they are active during twilight hours.
