Clouded Leopard Cub Button

This image shows a clouded leopard cub being held with a pair of gloves. While more closely related to big cats, the clouded leopard is frequently described as bridging the gap between big and small cats due largely to its smaller stature. It has proportionately short legs and a long tail. The coat is brown or yellowish-gray and covered with irregular dark stripes, spots and blotches. | "Smithsonian" and the Smithsonian logo are registered trademarks owned by Smithsonian Institution.
