GHOST CAT: SAVING THE CLOUDED LEOPARD

The Clouded Leopard is among the most elusive of all wild cats. Secretive, solitary and perfectly camouflaged in a patterned pelt, these night-stalkers silently walk the forests of Southeast Asia.

Join The Smithsonian Channel for the trip of a lifetime. Travel to Thailand for the birth of a litter of Clouded Leopard cubs. Then, slip across the Thai border to visit the most notorious black market in Myanmar- a business that takes in almost $10 billion a year.
