The coat is covered with blotches of brown interior and black border, which helps the clouded leopard to blend into the leaves. Its name comes precisely from these spots, similar to a cloud. In China, known as Leopard mint, and also the spots resemble the leaves of this plant.

This animal has the peculiarity of being the cat with the longest canines in relation to the body of those who currently exist. Cranial architecture differs in several characteristics from that of other cats, so this animal is classified in a mono specific genus, Neophilias.

Recently a team of U.S. scientists has discovered that the clouded leopard that lives in the islands of Borneo and Sumatra is an entirely new kind of feline. So far, it was believed that this enigmatic inhabitants of the equatorial forest belonged to the same species found in Southeast Asia.

Reproduction:

After a gestation period of 85 to 93 days, females give birth to a litter of 1 to 5 young. These are born blind and helpless, covered with patches of black color. Open their eyes at 10 days after birth and at 5 weeks and begin to actively pursue his mother. Become independent at 10 months after birth, but not sexually mature until two years old. Thereafter, the females may have a new litter every year. Life expectancy in captivity is only 17 years, so presumably live very little free time.
