The newest species of wild cat is the Bornean clouded leopard Neofelis diardi. In 2006 scientists officially recognised this species as being significantly different enough to the Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) for it to be elevated to a species in its own right.

Its preference for tropical and subtropical forest and high altitudes of up to about 2,000 metres (6,500 ft), mean that it can be found in Borneo and Sumatra.
