Sunda Clouded Leopard in Borneo
Sunda Clouded leopard spotted in Borneo (Neofelis diardi) is genetically different from the mainland clouded leopard species. This is quite evident if one looks closely at the coloration. The skin markings of clouded leopard, resembling clouds, give it such a name. This is the apex predator of rainforests in Borneo, and a highly sought after species for any serious wildlife enthusiasts.
The largest wild cat species in this Borneo island, the mystical Sunda Clouded Leopard hosts the longest canine of any feline. The tails are almost same as their body length which supports them balancing on the trees. The males can be found on the roads which are frequented by the prey like wild boars, deers etc, whereas the female clouded leopards mostly hunt on trees, perhaps to avoid confrontation with larger males.
