WHAT ARE WE WORKING TOWARD???

WE LIKE THE LOOK OF THE CLOUDED LEOPARD WITH ITS NICE LARGE ROSETTES. WE ARE TRYING TO CREATE THE LARGE ROSETTES ON OUR BENGALS. PLEASE SEE THE PICTURES BELOW TO SEE THE DIRECTION OF OUR BREEDING PROGRAM.

Description: Clouded leopards typically weigh about 28 pounds and are about 36 inches long (not including the tail, which is usually 30 inches long). Their fur ranges from pale yellow to brown with darker cloud-like markings. They have relatively short legs and large paws. Clouded leopards' long tails help them balance on narrow branches and jump safely from tree to tree.

Distribution and Habitat: This species of clouded leopard ranges from countries of the Himalayas, southern China, and Taiwan to peninsula Malaysia. In 2006, scientists determined that the clouded leopards living on the islands of Sumatra and Borneo are a distinct species, Neofelis diardi.

Rarely seen in the wild, there is some controversy as to whether the clouded leopard is an arboreal species—strongly tied to dense tropical evergreen forest—or a terrestrial hunter that uses roads and trails in logged forests. The answer is probably somewhere in between—the clouded leopard can hunt both in trees and on the ground. These cats can also live in drier forests if there is suitable prey.
