| First record of the bay cat in mosaic heath/peat-swamp forest, Kalimantan, Indonesia | |
| 2017 Cat News (65): 48-48 | |
The Borneo bay cat _Catopuma badia_ has been confirmed in mosaic heath/peat-swamp forest habitat for the first time. Through the use of camera traps, we present new location information on the distribution of bay cats in Kalimantan. This new location is approximately 64 km south-east outside the range depicted by the IUCN Red List assessment 2016 and is in a habitat type from which bay cats have not previously been recorded. Using 54 cameras over 28 locations, the bay cat was captured after 28 days (532 trap nights). The forest landscape in which this bay cat was discovered is not protected, thus the authors have taken the decision not to release the exact coordinates. |
