A strange, black cat has been photographed in Kerinci Seblat National Park in Sumatra, Indonesia. A research team working there since 1995 from Fauna & Flora International, the Indonesian Institute for Science and the Directorate General for Forest Protection and Nature Conservation were using an automatic TrailMaster infra-red camera when they captured the creature in film.
