A clouded leopard cub has recently arrived at Matang after being surrendered by a kind member of the public who found her.

The clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) is a medium sized cat found in Southeast Asia.
Preferred habitat is tropical and subtropical forests of up to 2,000 meters; however it is sometimes found in mangrove swamps and grassland. Because the clouded leopard's habitats make it difficult to study, reliable estimates of its population do not exist. However there are warnings that the population is declining due to loss of habitat through deforestation, demand for its pelt and hunting for use in medicine etc.

Lets hope this little cub now has a more promising future thanks to the work of everyone at Matang Wildlife Centre.
