First record with physical evidence of the African golden cat from Angola
2021  Cat News (73): 11-12

There are significant gaps in understanding the distribution of the African forest endemic,the African golden cat, _Caracal aurata_. Although Angola is included as a range country for the species, we know of no material record. Here, we document the first record with physical evidence of the species, from a bushmeat vendor in Uige Pro-vince, northern Angola.
