The Real Life Tigger

Meet the Clouded Leopard – named for the large cloud-like spots on its body – a medium-sized cat who is extremely rare and known to be one of the best climbers in the cat family. They are powerful climbers with a low centre of gravity and a very long tail – they are the one of the only cats who are designed to climb face first down trees.

The clouded leopard’s reclusive nature has made it hard to determine population size, but they are nicknamed real life Tiggers, due to their resemblance to Winnie the Pooh’s friend.
