Clouded Leopard

Clouded leopards are native to the forests of Southeast Asia and southern China. They have large paws specialized for gripping branches, specialized anklebones which allow them to climb headfirst down trees, and long tails which help them balance. Their fur is brownish- or yellowish-grey, and they have irregular spots, blotches and stripes. Males are significantly heavier on average than females. Clouded leopards can neither roar nor purr due to the bone structure of their necks.
