Info: |
Clouded leopards have proportionally the longest canines of any felid. They have distinctive "cloud" marking of darker ellipses on a coat which varies from tawny to silvery-grey. They have proportionally large feet, short legs and very long flexible tail which gives them excellent balance and allows them to live almost entirely arboreally. ! They have very large eyes with distinctive tapetum lucidem which gives them excellent night vision, as they are almost entirely nocturnal in the wild. There is significant sexual dimorphism between male and females, with males being on average twice the size of females. |
