| African golden cat and leopard persist in the Dja Faunal Reserve, Cameroon | |
| 2018 Cat News (68): 24-25 | |
Both leopard _Panthera pardus pardus_ and African golden cat _Caracal aurata_ occur throughout the Congo Basin and coastal forests of Central Africa. However, there remains a paucity of documented occurrences of these species within the region. Here, we document both species in the Dja Faunal Reserve DFR, Cameroon from images captured in a camera trap survey. This represents the first confirmed occurrence of leopard for 18 years and the first documentation of African golden cat within the reserve. |
