Forgive my curiosity, but is that a clouded leopard ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clouded_leopard )?

A clouded leopard is not a leopard ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopard ). All leopards are spotted (well, except for black leopards). The clouded leopard isn't spotted - it has coloured patches. like your photo. Clouded leopards are much smaller than true leopards.
