Title: A new species of cat Post by: Astronuc on March 18, 2007, 09:19:05 AM Bornean Clouded Leopard
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bornean_Clouded_Leopard Quote The Bornean Clouded Leopard (Neofelis diardi) is a medium-sized cat. Its coat is distinctively marked with large, irregularly-shaped, dark-edged ovals which are said to be shaped like clouds, hence its common name. It is found on Borneo and Sumatra in the Malay Archipelago. The species was identified as being different from the Asian mainland Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) in 2006, and publicized by the World Wildlife Fund on March 14, 2007.It's great to discover animals which we didn't know existed, but I would wish that humanity is more careful about the environment and overpopulation of people, which puts huge pressure on the environment and limited resources. |
