1. Sunda Leopard Cat, 巽它豹猫, Prionailurus javanensis

Found this cute and little cat on 2 night drive at recent Borneo Birding tour, lets share this video before I check out the pictures of the other drive

 

 

2. Bornean clouded leopard, 婆罗洲云豹, Neofelis diardi borneensis

– a rare wild cat, largest wild cat in Borneo

– 婆罗洲云豹是马来云豹的2个亚种之一。是婆罗洲岛最大的食肉动物,大小与小型美洲狮相当,头体长61-106厘米、尾长55-91厘米;体重16-23千克。外形以及体表的花纹都与亚洲其他地方地方云豹相似,只是体表的斑纹的色彩要暗很多,其犬齿长度相对于体型来说,居猫科动物之首。据科学家对比后发现,基于外部形态的对比,科学家发现婆罗洲云豹皮毛颜色要比大陆云豹更深更暗,身上的云状斑纹比大陆云豹小些,并出现了双背脊线。而大陆云豹的云状斑纹较大(其中尼泊尔云豹斑块最大),但在斑纹内斑点较少,毛色比婆罗洲云豹更加亮丽,双背脊线不连贯。
