Scientists have discovered that the clouded leopard found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra is an entirely new species of cat (Neofelis diardi). The secretive rainforest animal was originally thought to be the same species (Neofelis nebulosa) as the one found in mainland South-east Asia.

It's good to see a natural science story that isn't driven by publicity for a National Geographic or Discovery Channel documentary. The WWF takes up the story.
