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.

Lobo gris

El lobo gris (Canis lupus), el cánido silvestre más ampliamente distribuido, se extiende desde América del Norte a través de Eurasia en hábitats diversos que incluyen la tundra, bosques y praderas. Son animales altamente sociales que viven en manadas familiares lideradas por una pareja reproductora dominante. Como depredadores clave, los lobos regulan las poblaciones de presas y moldean profundamente la estructura del ecosistema, como demostró su reintroducción en Yellowstone. Antes muy perseguidos, las poblaciones se están recuperando en muchas regiones.
