A clouded leopard named Nimbus enjoys some much needed shade time away from the extremely warm sun at Thirgby Hall Wildlife Gardens in Suffolk, England.

The Met Office has issued an amber extreme heat warning for much of England and Wales until Sunday.

Nimbus is one of the visitors' favourite animals living in the park.

The clouded leopard (Neofelis nebulosa), also called the mainland clouded leopard, is a wild cat inhabiting dense forests from the foothills of the Himalayas through mainland Southeast Asia into South China.

The footage was filmed on August 12.
