A day late and a dollar short - I am rather behind on my social media, but I will catch up soon. Yesterday was International Clouded Leopard Day! ☁️🐆 #AnimalFact: Clouded leopards can open their mouth wider than any living cat species. AND in relation to skull size, they have the largest canine teeth of any modern day cat! Because of this, some people even like to call them the modern day saber toothed cat! ☁️🐆 These amazingly acrobatic and beautiful cats native to forests in Southeast Asia can be very difficult to study in the wild. They are very well camouflaged, rather elusive and mostly active at night. Thankfully there are many different kinds of tools and techniques that researchers have come up with to help better understand the clouded leopard’s life in the wild. ♥️ Those who conduct research on clouded leopards, use camera traps, fecal data analysis and record footprints for a database. All of this research shows us that due to habitat fragmentation the clouded leopard population is in decline. . . . . . #InternationalCloudedLeopardDay #CloudedLeopardDay #cloudedleopard #instaCat #CatsOfInstagram #animalpolis #animalsofinstagram #igscwildlife #animales #exclusive_animals #wildlifephoto #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifephotography #animalworld #awesomeglobe #animalsmood #wildlifeonearth #wildlifeplanet #animalsaddict #planet_of_animals #wildlife_seekers #animal_in_world #SanDiegoZoo #savingspecies (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zYorCHMW-/?igshid=53hgu84kbkyz
