First record of the African golden cat in Central Uganda
2021  Cat News (73): 10-11

During preliminary research for a survey to determine the species that inhabit the Mpanga Central Forest Reserve in Uganda, the African golden cat _Caracal aurata_ has been recorded with a camera trap. This is the first record of the African golden cat in this reserve and the region of Central Uganda. More research on the population size, threats, conservation needs, and distribution is recommended.
