THE LEGEND

台灣雲豹(Rikulau)-魯凱族神話傳說中的祖靈,引領其祖先翻山越嶺,找到安居的樂土。雲豹是全世界雲豹體系中的台灣特有亞種,台灣本土最大型的貓科動物。雲豹縱橫山林、敏捷迅速、來去如風;它能以後腳倒掛於樹枝上,也能頭下腳上從樹幹爬下,它是台灣最具神秘感以及傳奇色彩的動物。雲豹,就像是台灣山林史中的精靈,輕輕走過人與山之間的夢想。

(註:Rikulau-雲豹的魯凱族語)​

Rikulau - the legendary sacred animal of the Rukai people (a Taiwanese aboriginal tribe). Rikulau is the name of clouded leopard in their language. 700 years ago, a group of Rukai ancestors followed the footprints a Rikulai to find a forever land for their children. They left the east coast, and went up the stream into the deepest forests of the mountainous ranges of southern Taiwan. And finally, they settled at the foothills of Da-Wu mountain where the footprints of rikulau stopped.
