The Bornean Clouded Leopard has not been seen in the Indonesian portion of Borneo for decades. Minimal populations have been seen in two other areas far in the north. Here, a trail camera spotted a Clouded Leopard and two cubs (kittens?) in southern Borneo.
The second image is that of one of the cubs that inspects the camera himself.
Just a bit about trail cameras now. Trail cameras have been around for a while. For example, trail cameras were used in the hills of Los Angeles 90+ years ago. But the old trail cameras had to be checked by hand, and the film developed with no idea what was on it until the process was complete.
But the advent of remote and constant monitoring - with images sent now via the cloud and web allows a person (or AI) to monitor the camera as it takes pictures every few seconds. The camera area now doesn't smell like people, so animals are more interested in something out of place than afraid.
That is why we have seen the presence of unique animals or animals in places we thought the animals had been driven out of. Anywho, here are the pictures.
