Nomeado pelas suas marcas de pelagem em forma de nuvem, possui os dentes caninos mais longos em relação ao tamanho do crânio de qualquer felino selvagem e é um trepador excecional capaz de descer de árvores de cabeça para baixo. Vulnerável devido à desflorestação, embora a população total permaneça pouco conhecida.
