Clouded leopards are medium-sized felids. They are named so because of distinct 'cloud-like' spots on their coat that provide camouflage. They are about 25-40 cm tall and 1.2-1.8 m long, half of which is the tail-length. The clouded leopard has the longest upper canines in proportion to it's skull, amongst all modern carnivores.
