Status of Asiatic golden cat_ Catopuma Temminckii _Vigors & Horsfield, 1827 (Carnivora: Felidae) in Bhutan
2016  Journal of Threatened Taxa (8): 8698-8702

The Asiatic Golden Cat is a Near Threatened wild cat species as listed by the IUCN. Being a lesser studied species, there is a general paucity of data and hence, global assessment of its true status has been very difficult. In Bhutan, available information on this species is mainly from biodiversity surveys on big mammals such as Tiger and Snow Leopard. A modest attempt has been made to review all available literature on Asiatic Golden Cat in Bhutan and abroad to describe the current status of the species in the country and the need for further studies.
