whether the animal found there is F. uncia or F. pardus tulliana 

 may be doubtful. Generally dwelling at elevations of over 8000 

 feet, descending in Gilgit during winter to 6000 feet. 



CLOUDED LEOPARD (Felis nebulosa). 



The arimau dahan, as this species is called by the Malays, is the 

 size of a small leopard, with a very long and thickly furred tail, and 

 large upper tusks. The ground-colour of the fur varies from grayish 

 brown to fulvous, upon which are large dark blotches, frequently 

 bordered in part with black. In old specimens the blotches often 

 disappear, leaving only the black borders. 

 Distribution. — From the Sikim and Bhutan Himalaya, through Assam, 



Burma, Siam, and the Malay Peninsula, to Sumatra, Java, and 



Borneo. Represented by a smaller variety [F. nebulosa brachyurus) 



in Formosa.
