Formosan clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa brachyura), thought to be extinct for 36 years, has been reportedly sighted roaming around in the wilderness of Taitung County, Taiwan, by two different groups of tribal rangers in January 2019.
In 2013, zoologists officially declared Formosan clouded leopard—a leopard species native to the island of Taiwan—extinct, after their 13-year fruitless attempts to locate the tree-dwelling cat using 1,500 infrared cameras and hundreds of scent traps, according to NBC News.
