Not many people know about the clouded leopard. Even scientists don't know much about the animal in the wild because it is so private. We do know that the clouded leopard isn't actually a leopard. It is a species of its own. However, it does have spots like a leopard. They help it blend into the background in the forest.

What else do we know about the cat? It is one of the best climbers of all wild cats. This skill is clearly imprinted in the kittens early on by their mothers and by instinct. In the wild, the cat lives in the tropical rain forests of Asia. It hunts small animals, such as squirrels and monkeys. It is listed on the United States Endangered Species Act. This protects it from being hunted. Scientists have speculated that the wild population is getting smaller, but no actual numbers are available.

The Clouded Leopard Project works to conserve and protect the population of these cats. The project teaches about clouded leopards, analyzing their habits in captivity by watching their behaviors and interactions. The project realizes it is important to the cats' survival to breed the animals in zoos. If more clouded leopards aren't born, the population will be pushed quickly into extinction.

The Clouded Leopard Project has recently begun a conservation effort in Thailand. It is a natural home of the clouded leopard. Funds will be given to the Khao Kheow Open Zoo to help with the breeding of these cats. Part of the money also will help save the habitat of the wild cats. People will work to monitor these wild cats. They will be photographed instead of being sedated, or drugged, to be tagged (加标签).Sedating clouded leopards could cause the cats' bodies to lose too much water, or worse.

The project has had some great successes in the last few years. Two cubs were born in the United States, and two were born in Thailand. Members of the Clouded Leopard Project
