The Clouded Leopard

Neofelis Nebulosa, or the Clouded Leopard, can be found throughout Southeast Asia in places such as India, Nepal, China, and Bhutan. As time continues, the Clouded Leopard will undergo many changes to survive the rapidly changing world, and will eventually evolve into the Speckled Leopard. Their current habitat, the dense forest canopy, is currently being cut down. The first major adaptation that will occur will most likely be the change of their fur patterns, from cloud shaped patterns to specks that cover their body, to blend in with the new lack of trees in their environment. They will also go through changes on their body such as differences in their eyes, legs, tail, paws, and jaw. This species will also need to adapt its everyday behaviors as well, especially since humans, their largest threat, will be entering more of their habitat in the years to come.
