Clouded Leopard

A cat species discovered as late as three years ago, the Sundaland clouded leopard, has been caught on film for the very first time on Borneo in Indonesia. It is a relative of the Asia mainland clouded leopard, but a separate species. It is the largest predator on Borneo, which sounds like a cool thing to be, but it is still regarded as an endangered species. This is not due to commercially used forests, such forests can very well hold and preserve many species if managed in a good way, but there are still few of these cats around. I hope the species will be around for many centuries to come.
