New Species Of Great Cat Found

highwaytohell writes "Scientists have found a new species of leopard on Borneo and Sumatra. The Bornean Clouded Leopard or Neofelis Diardi was originally thought to be similar to the mainland Clouded Leopard. However, Dr Stephen O'Brien, Head of the Laboratory of Genomic Diversity, US National Cancer Institute says, "Genetic research results clearly indicate that the clouded leopards of Borneo should be considered a separate species, DNA tests highlighted around 40 differences between the two species." The news comes just a few weeks after a WWF report showed that scientists had identified at least 52 new species of animals and plants over the past year on Borneo."

Is it endangered yet?

So... how long before its extinct due to people harvesting its organs for aphrodisiacs?

I still call it the WWF. I think its completely ridiculous that a wildlife fund and a wrestling federation can't share a trademark. Trademarks are only supposed to be exclusive for organizations in the same field. This is why Apple continues to be allowed to sell music, as long as they don't produce music, which would make them in conflict with Apple records.

Apple Computer signed an agreement with Apple Records in the 1970s not to ever produce, publish, distribute or sell music, in order to keep the trademark.

Apple Records doesn't have the resources to follow through on the iTunes suit, although they did file one, and are 100% in the right.
