Clouded leopard
Neofelis nebulosa
36.088, -86.7423
Field Notes
Description:
Because of the animal's reclusive nature, the behavior of the clouded leopard in the wild is little known. With no evidence for a pack or pride society like that of the lion, it is assumed that it is a generally solitary creature, and it appears to be primarily nocturnal.
Habitat:
Clouded leopards are largely arboreal, hunting prey in the trees, and also using trees to rest during the day. However, they spend a significant proportion of their time on the ground, and sometimes inhabit environments without tall trees.
Notes:
This beautiful animal is in Nashville zoo where they have a successful breeding program for this species with 3 cubs born this year.
