#cloudedleopardday

A day late and a dollar short - I am rather behind on my social media, but I will catch up soon. Yesterday was International Clouded Leopard Day! ☁️🐆 #AnimalFact: Clouded leopards can open their mouth wider than any living cat species. AND in relation to skull size, they have the largest canine teeth of any modern day cat! Because of this, some people even like to call them the modern day saber toothed cat! ☁️🐆 These amazingly acrobatic and beautiful cats native to forests in Southeast Asia can be very difficult to study in the wild. They are very well camouflaged, rather elusive and mostly active at night. Thankfully there are many different kinds of tools and techniques that researchers have come up with to help better understand the clouded leopard’s life in the wild. ♥️ Those who conduct research on clouded leopards, use camera traps, fecal data analysis and record footprints for a database. All of this research shows us that due to habitat fragmentation the clouded leopard population is in decline. . . . . . #InternationalCloudedLeopardDay #CloudedLeopardDay #cloudedleopard #instaCat #CatsOfInstagram #animalpolis #animalsofinstagram #igscwildlife #animales #exclusive_animals #wildlifephoto #wildlifeaddicts #wildlifephotography #animalworld #awesomeglobe #animalsmood #wildlifeonearth #wildlifeplanet #animalsaddict #planet_of_animals #wildlife_seekers #animal_in_world #SanDiegoZoo #savingspecies (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0zYorCHMW-/?igshid=53hgu84kbkyz

I have been fortunate enough to have spent time with many different clouded leopards. And I have meet and worked with some incredible people who are working nonstop to save them from becoming extinct. Please follow and support the @ptdefiancezoo, @nashvillezoo and @smithsonianzoo. And you too can do something every day, right in your hometown... You see, #CloudedLeopards face many significant threats in the wild. Their native S.E. Asia habitat is experiencing large scale degradation due to logging and large scale agricultural areas, that includes massive palm oil plantations. Once logged and turned into agriculture/palm plantations, the habitat is gone and so are all of the animals that lived there. This is where you can make a difference. Be an informed consumer. Take the time to know what is in the products you buy. Support companies who decide not to use palm oil. It’s not easy. Palm oil can be in lotion, shampoo, dish soap, ice cream, cookies and many other foods. Yes, it takes extra effort. But my clouded leopard buddies would appreciate it. As would the binturongs, orangutans and countless other species that need that habitat to survive. . . . . . #cloudedleopardday #internationalCloudedLeopardDay #cloudedleopars #caturday #bigcats #bigcatsofinstagram #instacat #wildlifeplanet #wildlifeconservation #palmoil #endangered (at San Diego, California)

International Clouded Leopard Day raises awareness of the plight of the clouded leopard. Both in the wild and in captivity, the clouded leopard needs our help to maintain its current population levels and to grow. #cloudedleopardday #LeopardDay #leopard #Leopards #leopardgeckosofinstagram #leopardato #leopardlover #leopardskin #leopardnails #leopardcoat #leopardshark #leopardlove #leopardspots (at Los Santos, San Andreas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CDeh920hPU3/?igshid=1dlj6xd3so4fb
