| First photograph of a clouded leopard at Pakke Tiger Reserve, India | |
| 2010 Cat News (52): 24-25 | |
The clouded leopard _Neofelis nebulosa_ which is reported from countries of South East Asia is a rare felid and very little information is available from its geographic range. We present here the first instance of photo-capturing clouded leopard by camera traps in Assam Valley tropical semi-evergreen forest of Pakke Tiger Reserve, Arunachal Pradesh, India. Habitat destruction and hunting are the main threats that these animals face and strict regulations is needed to save these beautiful felid. |
