Clouded leopard co-exist with other five felids in Chitwan National Park, Nepal
2014 Cat News (61): 30-32
Once believed to be regionally extinct in Nepal, the clouded leopard _Neofelis nebulosa_, was recorded in 1989 and again in recent years with two new photographic evidence from Annapurna Conservation Area and Shivapuri Nagarjun National Park in 2011 and 2012. This year we recorded photographs of three individual clouded leopards from two locations in Chitwan National Park using camera traps. With this record, Chitwan National Park is one of the few parks in the world with six felid species i.e. tiger _Panthera tigris_, common leopard _Panthera pardus_, clouded leopard, fishing cat _Prionailurus viverrinus_, leopard cat _Prionailurus bengalensis _and jungle cat _Felis chaus_.
