"Clouded leopards have a tan or tawny coat, and are distinctively marked with large, irregularly-shaped, dark-edged ellipses which are said to be shaped like clouds. This unique appearance gave the cat both its common and scientific species name—nebulosus is Latin for "cloudy". The clouded leopard was confusing to scientists for a long time because of its appearance and skeleton. It seemed to be a cross between a big cat and a small cat.
The average clouded leopard typically weighs between 15 and 23 kilograms (33 and 51 lb), and has a shoulder height of 25 to 40 centimetres (9.8 to 16 in).[3] Females have a head-body length varying from 68 to 94 centimetres (27 to 37 in), with a 61 to 82 centimetres (24 to 32 in) tail, while the males are larger at 81 to 108 centimetres (32 to 43 in) with a 74 to 91 centimetres (29 to 36 in) tail.[4] Clouded leopards have a heavy build and, proportionately, the longest canine teeth of any living felid—of 2 inches (5.1 cm), about the same as a tiger's.[5] These characteristics led early researchers to speculate that they preyed on large land-dwelling mammals."

I went on a Big Cats Photography Day yesterday at the Wildlife Heritage Foundation yesterday with a photography forum I go on.
You get right up close to the cats with just a wire fence in between you. You get to see every spit, snarl and growl up close and personal.
The WHF is a charitable organisation which breeds big cats as part of the European Endangered Animals scheme to stop them from extinction.
I will be uploading some more ipictures from my day. I am thinking of possibly using one of them for my Module 3 homework.

Four days spent in the heart of the Serengeti were not nearly enough. It is a place of wonder, of delights and of incredible moments shared with spectacular creatures.
Photos were taken during a 9 day safari in partnership with Fed Tours and Safaris (fedsafaris.com) who provided an absolutely incredible experience.
