| Observation of a juvenile fishing cat in Bangladesh | |
| 2014 Cat News (61): 22-22 | |
The fishing cat _Prionailurus viverrinus_ is a globally endangered cat species which also occurs in Bangladesh. In December of 2013 a fishing cat kitten was captured by villagers nearby Kulaura town in Moulovibazar district. We examined this kitten and observed it's behavior for four days in a row. This incident confirmed the species existence in north-east Bangladesh. Because of the vast wetland areas in the northeast, Bangladesh may play a significant role as a stronghold for this endangered cat. |
