Photo by @stevewinterphoto The clouded leopard, one of Asia’s least known cats, triggers a camera trap in a tropical forest patch in northeast India. Until just recently, we knew almost nothing about this species. They are completely different from any other cat—in fact, they followed a different evolutionary path, forming a link between the big and small cat species. They are also almost ape-like in appearance, having massive paws and short legs that lend themselves to a largely arboreal (tree) life. What’s even crazier is that they have the longest canines relative to their bodies, making them modern- day sabertooths! Rough estimates suggest there may only be 10,000 mature clouded leopards left in the wild. Follow me @stevewinterphoto for more images of cats.
