Indochinese Leopard(Panthera Pardus Delacouri)
They're a subspecies of leopard. They are almost a rusty-red in ground colour but paler on the sides. They had small rosettes that were mostly 3.8 cm × 3.8 cm in diameter and so closely set that it looked dark. The fur was short with less than 2.5 cm long hair on the back.
Habitat
The Indochinese leopard is distributed in Southeast Asia, where today small populations remain only in Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, and southern China. In Laos, Vietnam and Singapore it is suspected to have been extirpated. In Myanmar's Chatthin Wildlife Sanctuary, the leopard population declined so drastically between the 1940s and 1980s, that by 2000 it was estimated as being close to locally extinct in the Qinling Mountains.
