| A fishing cat observation from northern Cambodia | |
| 2010 Cat News (52): 8-9 | |
A fishing cat _Prionailurus viverrinus_ was photographed by a targeted camera trap in Kulen Promtep Wildlife Sanctuary, northern Cambodia in 2003. The robust build and combination of features confirm identification. It was located in deciduous dipterocarp forest, close to floodplain grassland approximately 260 m from a permanently flowing river. There are few other observations of the Endangered fishing cat in Cambodia and this may be the first observation in the wild. Other confirmed observations have been from captive individuals on the Tonle Sap lake and in the south-western forests. Identifying sites at which this species is present should be a priority as this species is poorly known. |
