Mar. 15 - Scientists have discovered that a leopard native to Borneo and Sumatra is no ordinary leopard.

The Clouded Leopard or Neofelis diardi has almost as many differences between them as tigers and lions. Tests have shown the animal has 40 different genetic differences to the leopard found in mainland Asia - making it an entirely new species of cat.
