The Sunda clouded leopard is a stealthy wild cat found only on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra. It's known for its striking dark fur marked with unique cloud-like spots. This rare feline faces threats from habitat loss as forests disappear.

  • Recognized as a separate species from mainland clouded leopards in 2006.
  • Fewer than 10,000 adults remain in the wild today.
  • Its coat has darker fur and smaller cloud patterns than its mainland relatives.
