Question...Where is the clouded leopard found?
Answer...
The clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) is a magnificent but little-studied big cat found in Southeast Asia. Little is known about the animal on account of its largely nocturnal and arboreal habits.
Until recently, the clouded leopard was widely distributed in Southeast Asia: from Nepal and Sikkim, east to southern China and Taiwan, and south through Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia, Malaysia, Borneo and Sumatra. Currently four subspecies are recognized:
Neofelis nebulosa brachyurus Taiwan - Thought to be extinct in the wild
Neofelis nebulosa diardi Sumatra, Borneo, and Java
Neofelis nebulosa macrosceloides Nepal to Burma
Neofelis nebulosa nebulosa Southern China to eastern Burma
