[edit] Start rating

I was reluctant to give this article a start rating, but the lack of references definitely convinced me. Otherwise a great article that could do with some research form the finnish site & TLC... Spawn Man 04:24, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

The news reports are based on this press release from the WWF. The work appears to have been performed by the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity at the National Cancer Institute, in collaboration with the Department of Natural Sciences at the National Museum of Scotland.

[edit] New range map

I have some doubts about the new range map, showing Sumatra island, because the WWF news says that Scientists have discovered that the clouded leopard found on the islands of Borneo and Sumatra is an entirely new species of cat.

Their long fangs help them to capture monkeyes, deer, and much more food they need to survive —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.185.73.90 (talk) 21:09, 5 December 2007 (UTC)
