Meow, it’s Caturday! Say “hello” to the clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa). It’s found across a range that spans Nepal through Southeast Asia and into China, but this stealthy animal is rarely seen in the wild. It’s a formidable hunter, with great tree-climbing and swimming abilities. Meals include primates, birds, and deer. Fun fact: This cat, which can open its mouth wider than any other, has the longest canine teeth relative to body size of any living felid—earning it the nickname of a “modern day saber-tooth!”
