New photos from the field are giving us a rare

glimpse into the lives of clouded leopards.

The above photographs were taken April 11, 2005 by Anders Ranqvist during a night spotlighting

wildlife drive inTabin Wildlife Reserve in Sabah, Malaysia.

The above photos were taken in Thailand's Khao Yai National Park. Park wildlife rangers recovered a road-killed barking deer and secured it to a tree to see what it might attract. The results - a beautiful clouded leopard! Thanks to WildAid, Khao Yai National Park, and the Smithsonian for sharing the photographs.
