• Researchers in the United Kingdom believe that the main hope for successful breeding of clouded leopards in captivity will be linked to artificial insemination and embryo transfers to produce healthy offspring.

The clouded leopard is a predator that hunts monkeys, small deer, birds, rodents, and sometimes wild boars, often ambushing prey from trees or on the ground; its feeding strategy involves active hunting and stalking. The species’ diet includes porcupines, pallas's squirrels, wild boars, sika deer, long-tailed macaques, grey langurs, and stump-tailed monkeys. Young clouded leopards consume milk, while adults require a daily food intake ranging from 0.8 kilograms to 2 kilograms. In some cultures, the animal is eaten, but it is not considered halal or kosher.
