"First-of-its-kind footage has captured a family of endangered Bornean clouded
leopards walking through a forest in Indonesian Borneo.
Camera traps in Tanjung Puting National Park recorded a mother Bornean clouded
leopard (
Neofelis diardi borneensis) and her two young cubs. The footage is
an encouraging sign that the species is still reproducing.
Staff from the conservation organization Orangutan Foundation placed camera
traps throughout the forest to record animal species and their whereabouts in
the area.
On April 9, the team discovered one of the cameras had recorded a clouded
leopard family. While previous footage has captured these wild cats in the
area, this is the first time a family has been filmed together, according to an
Orangutan Foundation statement.
The Bornean clouded leopard is one of two subspecies of Sunda clouded leopard
in Indonesia. The other, named the Sumatran clouded leopard (
Neofelis diardi
diardi), lives on the island of Sumatra."

is checking out the camera! :) :) :) Cats will be Cats!"
