Clouded leopards are a medium-sized cat named for the cloud-like spots on its coat. These provide camouflage in the dappled light of its forest habitat. (In China the cat is known as the 'Mint Leopard' because its spots can also look like mint leaves).
Clouded leopards can live to about 17 years old in captivity. Fitting for an arboreal creature, clouded leopards are one of the best climbers in the cat family. They are able to climb upside down underneath tree branches, hang from branches with their hind feet, and even descend head first, like a squirrel.louded leopards can live to about 17 years old in captivity.
