Clouded leopards have the longest canine teeth relative to skull size of any living cat

Relative to skull size, clouded leopards wear the longest canines of any living cat — saber-like teeth for a mid-sized climber.

Flexible ankles and a long tail help them move among Southeast Asian forest canopies, hunting birds and mammals in three dimensions.

Those teeth are evolutionary overinvestment that pays in trees. Grip, balance, and a deep bite make a specialist of the mid-canopy.
