Formosan clouded leopard Features
The Formosan clouded leopard has a long body, a long tail, four short legs, and weighs approximately 16-23kg. Their head and trunk are about 61-150cm long, with the trunk accounting for 55-90cm of that length, and their tail is 55-90cm long with 11-14 black ringed markings. The Formosan clouded leopard has well-developed canine teeth, tawny bodies, and short, round ears that are black in back with some grayish white spots in the center. They have several black stripes running from their forehead to their shoulder, several large cloud-like black spots on the sides of their neck and body, and irregularly shaped dark brown markings on their white bellies and four limbs. They have four claws on each of their large paws that are usually protected inside muscular sheaths and only extended when pouncing upon a victim. Formosan clouded leopards derive their name from their resemblance to tigers and leopards and the irregular-shaped cloud-like markings on their chest.

Biodiversity-Restoration Features:
The Formosan sika deer is a medium-sized subspecies of deer measuring about 1.5m in length with a shoulder height around 98cm. They are named for the white, plum blossom-like spots on their back. Males are larger than females, with a shoulder height of 1m, and their antlers-which they start to grow at two years of age and continue to add one branch per year until they are five years old-can grow to more than 70cm in length. The smaller females have no antlers. Habitat:
Formosan sika deer inhabit plains and mountainous areas at 300-500m elevations.
