Cats have some of the most unique eyes on earth 🌍 with vision 6 to 7 times better than us at night.

Instead of having circular pupils like humans, the black parts in the centres of their eyes are vertical - which can adapt quickly and can open and close like the aperture of a camera 📷.

Sunda Clouded Leopards and Cubs This footage was released by “World News” and several other outlets This footage shows a female leopard and two young cubs crossing a road and walking into the bush in the Deramakot Forest Reserve in Malaysia's Sabah state, where the elusive cat was first sighted at night on camera traps in 2010. “Fitting for an arboreal creature, clouded leopards are one of the best climbers in the cat family. They are able to climb upside down underneath tree branches, hang from branches with their hind feet, and even descend head first, like a squirrel. Several adaptations allow clouded leopards to achieve these amazing arboreal skills. Their legs are short and stout, providing leverage and a low center of gravity. Furthermore, a clouded leopard's extremely long tail provides an excellent balancing aid. For grip their large paws are armed with sharp claws and specialized padding that conforms to the shape of the branch4. The hind feet possess flexible ankle joints that allow the foot to rotate backwards as well. ‘ - Clouded Leopard dot Org #SundaCloudedLeopard #CloudedLeopard #SabahMalaysia #Borneo #RareSighting #BigCats https://www.instagram.com/p/BtavcWQAVV4/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ico2eqvmcv5
