List of Animals That End With D

    1

    Clouded Leopard

    Neofelis nebulosa

    A secretive mid-sized cat of Southeast Asian forests with extraordinarily large canine teeth relative to its skull and the ability to descend trees headfirst — its cloud-like coat pattern gives it its name.

    2

    Leopard

    Panthera pardus

    The most adaptable big cat — found from African savannas to Russian taiga to urban Mumbai — with rosette-spotted fur, a powerful bite, and remarkable ability to haul prey twice its weight up trees.

    3

    Snow Leopard

    Panthera uncia

    The ghost of the mountains — a large cat of the high Himalayas and Central Asian ranges, rarely seen by humans; it has the longest tail relative to body size of any cat, which it wraps around itself like a scarf for warmth, and is known for its haunting, otherworldly call that sounds nothing like a roar.
