Pantera Longibanda

Un felino de tamaño mediano que pesa hasta 26 kg, los leopardos nebulosos habitan bosques tropicales y subtropicales desde el Himalaya oriental hasta el sudeste asiático y Borneo. Nombrado por sus distintivas marcas de pelaje en forma de nube, posee los dientes caninos más largos en relación con el tamaño del cráneo de cualquier felino salvaje y es un trepador excepcional capaz de descender por los árboles con la cabeza por delante. Vulnerable debido a la deforestación, aunque la población total sigue siendo poco conocida.
