'Extinct' leopard captured in Bangladesh
A critically endangered clouded leopard cub has been captured by tribes people in a remote area of Bangladesh.
Many conservationists thought the leopards were actually extinct in the country.
Mohammed Islam from the Wildlife Trust of Bangladesh says the find
is "exciting and hugely significant". Clouded leopards are solitary,
nocturnal and arboreal cats. They are also one of the least studied
leopards because of their secretive and timid nature.
The Trust is now trying to release the cub.

Some good news for the Clouded Leopards, especially as it's a cub

There should be a place where these kinds of animals could live freely without worrying about hunters or people harming them, these kinds of animals are almost gone and they should be protected.
