Some pictures and video from a research project in Borneo. I cannot believe the BBC’s claim that is is the first ever video taken of a Bornean Clouded Leopard. Really?

I’ve never seen any video of it before.
The story attached to the impressive video mentions that a tourist is thought to have videotaped this species in 2006, but that the video has not been made public. The only claim made in the article is that this is the first video to be made available to the public.
I guess so. I am just surprised as I know several people who have seen them in Borneo just in my small circle of friends and I would have thought that plenty of people would have taken video of them. When I was first in the Danum Valley I heard the BBC and been there for a month trying to film a Leopard but had given up after not finding an animal – I saw one on my second night (but I don’t have a video camera and even if I had of it would have been a distant image of an animal in a tree)
Don’s correct – the stroy claims it is the first video of this species made available to the public. However it is not the first video of this elusive cat!
