| Fishing cat | |
| 2010 Cat News (Special Issue 5): 48-49 | |
The fishing cat is often not recognized as a Chinese species (Smith & Xie 2008). In 1986, it was reported to have probably disappeared from the western border regions of China (Karanth 1986). One record from Taiwan from 1962 (Chen 1969) is now considered to be erroneous, while two other records from Yunnan from 1996 remain unclear (Zhang et al. 1997, IUCN 2010). The existence of a stable population in China is unlikely, but there could well be fishing cats occasionally roaming into Guangxi or Yunnan near the Vietnam border (Nowell & Jackson 1996, L. Feng, pers. comm.). |
