Clouded Leopard Neofelis nebulosa
Captive
EOS10D, Sigma 180 F3.5, F5.6, 1/50, ISO 400, Handheld

..and what big teeth there are too :shock:

There is something unmistakenly prehistoric about this leopard. It's sufficiently different from other leopards to be placed in its own genus.

It is a beautiful cat though.

Comments welcome and thanks for looking

Wow those are teeth.

The combination of this and Carols shot tell the whole story of this line of cats. And I thought the little pint nose was cute. Wrong :?

Yikes! Those teeth are incredible. I'm glad that you and Carol both have your shots posted at the same time, so we can see different expressions, and both the eyes and teeth.
