Clouded Leopard, Zie-Zoo, Netherlands
One of two Clouded Leopards found in this zoo. This one was sleeping on a board very high up in the cage. Here you can see the pair having a little argument:
They are named after their beautiful cloud like patterns. They are incredible climbers...and jumpers:

The clouded leopard is a felid found from the Himalayan foothills through mainland Southeast Asia into China, and has been classified as vulnerable in 2008 by IUCN. Its total population size is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults.
