But the Southeast Asian Clouded Leopard
has already got a Latin name. And its :
Neofelis nebulosa

meaning clouded new cat.
Neo = new (Greek), felis = cat (Latin)
Nebulosa = foggy (Latin)
It lives in the rainforests of SE Asia.

Panthera uncia
The magnificent snow leopard of SE Asia.
This beautiful fat-cat is found at a height of 10,000 feet!
(officially 5000-18,000 feet) Its home is in the Altai mountains (Russia & Mongolia), Hindu-Kush mountains (Afghanistan) and the Himalayas.
It mostly stays in the snowy heights.
Thanks for the nice comment, Sesame. I'm not sure where I would start with such a thread. The sex life of Chimpanzees, perhaps ? ( Not joking, honest !) But I'm not sure that wildlife would spark an awful lot of interest. Opinions and suggestions ( as vulgar as you like ) welcome on this from anyone.
