2018 Cat News (68): 13-15
Clouded leopard _Neofelis nebulosa_ was pictured during a camera trap study in Sikles-Bhujung landscape in lower Annapurna Conservation Area from January-March 2017. Two other species of felids common leopard _Panthera pardus_ and leopard cat _Prionailurus bengalensis_ were found to be coexisting with clouded leopard. Human disturbance in the study area is high during herding season (May-August). The clouded leopard is vulnerable to anthropogenic threats including hunting, livestock encroachment and hydropower development.
