Leopards are panthers right? My spirit animal is a tiger but I like panthers and leopards just as much.

Good question skwirlinator! I thought leopards has some kind of pattern to there fur and panthers are solid colors. But I'm not really sure. Anyway both species are very beautiful.

Beautiful. It's smaller than the leopards in the mainland.
My friend has ocelots that she'd rescued, and they're
very sweet.

Hello Merrie
I would love to see a picture of the ocelots. Where did she rescue it at? I bet it is a real beauty.

New DNA tests show that Borneo's top predator is one of a kind.
</P><P>
The clouded leopard of the Southeast Asian islands of Borneo and Sumatra is its own unique species, according to genetic test results announced yesterday by WWF, the international conservation organization (<A href="http://www.nationalgeographic.com/xpeditions/atlas/index.html?Parent=asia&Rootmap=indone&Mode=d&SubMode=w">Indonesia map showing Borneo and Sumatra</A>). Until now the cat was believed to be of the same species as the <A href="http://www3.nationalgeographic.com/animals/mammals/clouded-leopard.html">mainland clouded leopard</A>.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/03/070315-leopard-picture.html">
The differences aren't all in the genes, either—the two species have different fur patterns and skin coloration.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2007/03/070315-leopard-picture.html"><P>
Weighing in at about 50 pounds (23 kilograms), the Bornean clouded leopard—as it's being called—is the largest predator on Borneo and is second only to the Sumatran tiger on Sumatra. A hunter of lizards, monkeys, and small deer, the big cat has proportionately the longest canine teeth of any cat.
