The Formosan clouded leopard (Neofelis Nebulosa Brachyura), also known as the Taiwan clouded leopard, is a clouded leopard subspecies that lived in the island of Taiwan. A camera trapping study carried out the largest remaining lowland primary forest in Southern Taiwan during 2000 to 2004 did not reveal the presence of a clouded leopard. It went extinct in April 2013. It was the 2nd largest carnivore in Taiwan and the largest is the endangered Formosan black bear. It is one of the 2 recently extinct animals that begin with the letter F along with the Falkland islands wolf.
