You can't. It is an endangered species, and therefore protected.
Zoos try to breed them in captivity to boost the clouded leopard population, so under certain circumstances, zoos might be able to exchange or buy them. Other than that the protection means they can't be legally sold.
Well, put quite simply, not only is the coat of a clouded leopard ay least as beautiful as those of any other wildcat species but as they are such an endangered species, their rarity alone makes them very special. I just read the other day, in fact that a coat from just the one adult clouded leopard can fetch $80,000 - that makes it very special in my book!! Oh, and PS. They're actually not a species of leopard but were given their name long before such technology as DNA testing existed...
Yes, its habitat is that of the Rainforests. It has adapted to this location in various ways, such as its coat, which makes it difficult to see them in that environment. Being hidden enhances its ability to hunt, ambush, and catch prey. It also makes it easier to avoid enemies.
The Clouded Leopard normally measures, at the shoulder between 10 and 16 inches tall. They usually are about 3 feet long, with a tail that is about 3 feet long too. They have the longest tail of any cat's, in relation to the body size. The male Clouded Leopard can be more than twice the size of the female Clouded Leopard. For more details, please see the sites listed below.
Usually one to three cubs are born in a litter. Up to 5 have been reported.
Around 2-4 cubs are in a Leopard litter. But some of them do not survive and mostly only 1 or 2 live. It is very rare and lucky for all of the cubs to reach adulthood.
The average litter size is 2 to 3 kittens (leopard young) but it can be from one to six.
Cubs are usually born in a litter of 2-4,[32] but infant mortality is high and usually no more than 1-2 cubs survive beyond their infancy.
3 to 2 cubs.

There are no reliable estimates of the population of clouded leopards because their habits make them difficult to study. The World Conservation Union estimates that there are fewer than 10,000 in the wild.
Sri Lankan Leopard: 700-950
Javan Leopard: Between 100-250
Arabian Leopard, South Arabian Leopard: 150-250
Amur Leopard: 30-60
Persian Leopard, Caucasian Leopard, Central Asian Leopard, North Persian Leopard, West Asian Leopard: 871-1,290
African leopards - Around 25 000
They live in southern China, around southeast Asia, Indoniesia, and the Himalayan mountains
They're also thought to still be in Taiwan, but it's been 25 years since spotted there.
Clouded leopards live in lowland tropical rainforests, but can also be found in dry woodlands. Countries where they are located include most of Southeast Asia from Nepal and southern China through Thailand, Indonesia, and Borneo.
There are two species of Clouded Leopard. One is found in the eastern Hymalayas, which includes the southern part of China, north-east India and south-east Asia. It's kin, the Bornean Couded Leopard lives on the Batu Islands, Borneo and Sumatra. Links are provided to the Wikipedia articles. Check out the pictures. This in one superb cat.
By banning international trade in skins, protecting habitas, and by arming more forest rangers. Most leopard subspecies are not endangered, but the Amur leopard is, with only around 30 left in the wild.
females should grow from 8cm - 10cm. Males should grow from 10cm - 12cm.
A full grown leopard can weigh as much as 201 pounds. The males tend to weigh more than the females.
Apart from lions, all the big cats are solitary, and very protective of their territory.
So when male and female meets, it's sort of mixed emotions.
Yes, it's someone to breed with, which is a strong urge.
But it's ALSO a competitor for food, an intruder in the territory.
Someone to chase off as soon as possible.
A clouded leopard is faster than a common leopard.
As a species, leopards are not endangered. But many subspecies are. See IUCN Redlist for list of endangered leopard sub species.
