| New elevation record of fishing cat occurrence in Odisha, eastern India | |
| 2021 Cat News (72): 16-17 | |
We report a high elevation record of a fishing cat _Prionailurus viverrinus_ from Odisha, eastern India, where most fishing cat occurrences have previously been recorded below 50 m. A fishing cat was rescued from Ghumsur South Forest Division, Odisha, at an elevation of 160 m in January 2020. This record indicates that the species might be more widely distributed in the State than previously thought. |
