Meet Gumara, an endangered Sunda clouded leopard that calls Gembira Loka Zoo Yogyakarta home. Looking at his photo, you might be thinking Gumara doesn’t look like your typical clouded leopard, and you’d be right. Sunda clouded leopards were classified as a distinct species in 2006, and can be distinguished from others by their darker fur and smaller cloud pattern. Restricted to the islands of Borneo and Sumatra, this species faces threats similar to others living in the area - deforestation, illegal hunting, and the wildlife trade.
