Leopards are smart, strong, and grow very quickly. Take a housecat with an attitude and imagine that same cat with 50 more pounds. Then double that, twice. While a leopard is not likely to reach more than 200 lbs. it will have the strength and attitude of a far larger animal. These are not pets. One leopard (In 1908) is said to have over 400 human kills to its credit. It is this danger that makes them feared, hunted, and killed, although much of that fear is no longer justified.

These are of the Panthera Pardus lineage. Clouded leopards are Neofelis nebulosa, so are seperate from the panthera line. The North Chinese leopard is facing a difficult time, considering the area of the world they live in. China is not exactly animal friendly. There are only about five facilities attempting to save them through captive breeding, and these two females may never find suitable mates due to the lack of intrest/desire of humans to save them through captive conservation.

I of course refer to the African leopard (which can be as much a pest over there, digging in garbage cans, as a raccoon is in the US), not say, the Amur leopard, whose extinction is imminent. The St. Louis zoo has an Amur leopard. Go there at the right time and you may be able to get some shots of the zookeeper feeding him hard-boiled eggs by hand. I did, and then my stupid motorola phone/camera died 4 months later. Stupid motorola.

They are also the most dangerous cat to attempt to tame seriously. Of course they're also the least endangered so you wouldn't be doing the world a disservice by attempting to domesticate them, but the first child it sees it's not even going to know it's not supposed to eat, it's going to think the child is some exotic form of prey you are giving it as a treat however nice the cat may be to you, and may be unable to resist attacking you too, should you ever appear injured, even if it loves you.

Clouded leopard will not breed with leopards. Its like saying humans can breed with baboons. It just doesn't happen

There are plenty of leopards in the world (mostly in sub-saharan Africa), they are in no danger of extinction AS A SPECIES, unlike the Iberian lynx. The chinese leopard is a subspecies. The most endangered subspecies is the Amur leopard.
