This is not every day that in the midst of announcements of more disappeared species we learn of the apparition of one of them. These days, the news of a species discovery is flowing through the ranks of nature scientists. The clouded leopard of Borneo is now considered as separate from the the other feline species of South-East Asia.
Nevertheless, this animal also enters the list of endangered species with only a few thousands of them living in the primary forests of Borneo, and thus exposed to the immediate reduction in size of their habitat.

PS : il ne faut pas être surpris de voir les deux noms de panthère et léopard associés, il s’agit vraiment de deux terminologies essentiellement échangeables pour la même famille d’animaux.
