Bornean Clouded Leopard

The Bornean Clouded Leopard (Neofelis diardi) is a medium-sized wild cat found
on Borneo, Sumatra and the Batu Islands in the Malay Archipelago and
publicised under the name Bornean Clouded Leopard by the World Wide Fund for
Nature (WWF) on March 14, 2007.[2][3] Its coat is marked with
irregularly-shaped, dark-edged ovals which are said to be shaped like clouds,
hence its common name. Though scientists have known of its existence since the
early 19th century, it was positively identified as being a distinct species
in its own right in 2006, having long been believed to be a subspecies of the
mainland Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa).[2][4] WWF quoted Dr. Stephen
O'Brien of the U.S. National Cancer Institute as saying, "Genetic research
results clearly indicate that the clouded leopard of Borneo should be
considered a separate species".                                               
                                                                             
                                                                             
     The Bornean Clouded Leopard has a stocky build weighing about 25 kg (55
pounds). It is the largest predator in Borneo. The majority of its prey lives
in trees necessitating its excellent climbing skills. With short, flexible
legs, large paws, and keen claws this big cat is very sure-footed. The canine
teeth are two inches long, longer than any extant feline. Its tail can grow to
be as long as its body, aiding balance.
