So rare it wasn't photographed until 1994, and even today it takes a team of researchers with over 1,000 cameras hundreds of hours to capture a single shot. With the help of researchers and photographers across Asia, we've compiled the largest collection of marbled cat footage ever assembled online, including exclusive shots never before seen by the public. In this video we cover everything known about the marbled cat: its prehistoric-looking anatomy, its monkey-like tail and rotating ankles, its behavior, and the newest insights into its genetics and family tree, and what this living relic reveals about how modern cats evolved. 00:00 The Living Relic 01:01 Primitive Traits & Monkey-Like Anatomy 02:52 Eyeball Armor & Canopy Vision 05:00 Miniature Sabre-Teeth & Clouded Leopard Twinning 06:20 Convergent Evolution & Coexistence (Temporal Segregation) 08:29 The Challenge of Elusiveness: 200 Years of Film 09:51 Creative Research: Studying DNA via Leeches 10:24 Dwindling Numbers & The Impact of Palm Oil Agriculture 12:05 Conservation Efforts: Protecting the Canopy Highways Examining the nature of the beast.
