Another distinctive feature of the clouded leopard is its long canine teeth. In fact, studies by Dr. Per Christiansen of the Copenhagen's Zoological Museum have revealed new insights into the unusual skull of the clouded leopard. It has long been known that the clouded leopard has the longest upper canine teeth for its skull size of any modern carnivore, causing some people to compare the cat with the extinct saber-toothed cat. Dr. Christiansen's research into the skull characteristics of both living and extinct cats has revealed that that the clouded leopard has a skull unlike any other cat today. In a number of respects it bears distinctive resemblance to the primitive saber-toothed cats, before they became highly specialized and developed enormous upper fangs. This could indicate that one lineage of modern cats, of which now only the clouded leopard is still present, evolved some adaptations in common with the true saber-toothed cats. It also indicates that the clouded leopard may hunt large prey in the wild in a slightly different manner from other great cats.国外专家认为，拥有今日头比例最长犬齿的云豹，是现存所有肉食动物的特案，而且能从而与剑齿虎对照。云豹能由此猎杀大型猎物，只需要浅浅一口含阻动脉要害。话说，其实手术刀这招，其实狮子也会用。
