First record of rusty-spotted cat in Punjab, India
2020  Cat News (71): 26-27

One of the world's small and elusive cats, a rusty-spotted cat _Prionailurus rubiginosus_, was spotted in the Takhni-Rehmapur Wildlife Sanctuary, Punjab, India during a pioneering exercise to document its biodiversity by using camera traps. This is the first recorded evidence of rusty-spotted cat from the state of Punjab in India. This finding will fill in the gaps among the isolated records of rusty-spotted cat in the northern parts of India.
