The Formosan Clouded Leopard, a stunning big cat thought extinct, was spotted in the mountain forests of Taiwan. It’s thought their stealth and the thick jungle forest kept them hidden.

@eb

That would be really cool if it is confirmed to be true!

Thanks for the link; I was previously unaware of these cats.
