| First confirmed record of marbled cat in Bangladesh | |
| 2015 Cat News: 17-17 | |
In Bangladesh there was no definite record of the marbled cat _Pardofelis marmorata_, but it was expected to occur in the hill forests of the Chittagong Hill Tracts. In March 2013, a mother with a kitten was spotted by a domestic dog of a local Khasia man in low hills in the southern border of Srimangal sub-district (24ø11'17'' N and 91ø44'56'' E; altitude ca. 68 m) under Moulvibazar district, Bangladesh. The dog captured (bit) the kitten. Eventually the kitten was sent to Srimangal town where it grew up in captivity, feeding on supplied cow milk in the first six months and later on meat of domestic chicken and pigeon. |
