Clouded Leopard exploitation for pelts is well documented in several countries, including the infamous Tachilek market along the Thai–Myanmar border. The frequency of Clouded Leopard parts available at market indicates increased pressure from hunting (Oswell 2010). Ongoing deforestation in countries such as Myanmar and Cambodia is also leading to increased fragmentation and reduction of optimal habitat for Clouded Leopard.]]> 2017-11-29 09:21:42 UTC https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211298232 up716180 https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211298303 Legal protection - hunting ban

Since 2008, it is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Its total population is suspected to be fewer than 10,000 mature individuals, with a decreasing population trend, and no single population numbering more than 1,000 adults]]> 2017-11-29 09:24:06 UTC https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211298985 up716180 https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211299364 2017-11-29 09:25:15 UTC https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211299364 up716180 https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211299760 Leopards require trees for shelter as they feel safer up off the ground when feeding and resting.
Clouded leopards are the most talented climbers among the cats. In captivity, they have been observed to climb down vertical tree trunks head first, and hang on to branches with their hind paws bent around branchings of tree limbs. They are capable of supination and can even hang down from branches only by bending their hind paws and their tail around them. When jumping down, they keep hanging on to a branch this way until the very last moment. They can climb on horizontal branches with their back to the ground, and in this position make short jumps forward. When balancing on thin branches, they use their long tails to steer. They can easily jump up to 1.2 m (3.9 ft) high]]> 2017-11-29 09:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211299760 up716180 https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211300636 2017-11-29 09:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211300636 up716180 https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211300922 2017-11-29 09:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/211300922 up716180 https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/214110933 They eat deer, bearded pigs, birds, monkeys, gibbons, porcupines, fish, domestic cattle and chickens.]]> 2017-12-07 14:07:40 UTC https://padlet.com/up716180/clouded_leopard/wish/214110933
