Clouded Leopards

The clouded leopard is a beautiful cat found in China and Southern Asia. If you’re wondering why you’ve never seen nor heard on this species before, they are rarely seen in the wild and not much is known about their habits. While it is one of the smaller animals on the list, this leopard shouldn’t be taken lightly, given its amazing climbing abilities and strong grip. The clouded leopard is able to hang upside down from large branches with the help of its sharp claws and big paws. They also have short and powerful legs with rear ankles that can rotate, allowing them to climb down from trees in a head-first position.
