Diurnal activity of leopard cat in Rajaji National Park, India
2014  Cat News (61): 21-21

The leopard cat _Prionailurus bengalensis_ is a small felid that is known to have a widespread distribution throughout India. As the activity pattern of the species is strongly nocturnal, it has been rarely seen or photographed during daytime. A photographic record of a leopard cat active during mid-morning hours in the Rajaji National Park is presented here. No earlier daytime camera trap or visual records of the leopard cat have been reported in this region.
