2019 Cat News (69): 26-27
The rusty-spotted cat _Prionailurus rubiginosus_ has only recently been reported from the Similipal Tiger Reserve, Odisha, India for the first time. The rusty-spotted cat is the least known of the small cats in this particular region. During a camera trap survey primarily targeted for tigers _Panthera tigris_, rusty-spotted cat was photographed at two different locations in Similipal tiger reserve in 2017. This is the first photographic evidence of rusty-spotted cat captured by camera traps in the tiger reserve.
