Distribution of Sunda clouded leopard, 2016[1]
The Sunda clouded leopard (Neofelis diardi) is a medium-sized wild cat native to Borneo and Sumatra. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 2015, as the total effective population probably consists of fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend. On both Sunda Islands, it is threatened by deforestation.[1]
It was classified as a separate species, distinct from the clouded leopard in mainland Southeast Asia based on a study in 2006.[2] Its fur is darker with a smaller cloud pattern.[3][4]
This cat is also known as the Sundaland clouded leopard, Enkuli clouded leopard,[1]Diard's clouded leopard,[5] and Diard's cat.[6]
