| First photographic records of melanistic Asiatic golden cat from Buxa Tiger Reserve, India | |
| 2022 Cat News (76): 37 | |
We report the first photographic records of melanistic Asiatic golden cat _Catopuma temminckii_ from Buxa Tiger Reserve BTR, West Bengal, India. The melanistic morphs were photo captured during the camera trap survey as a part of the ongoing project on the augmentation and long-term monitoring of tiger in the reserve. These new records trigger the further query and conservation interventions for small carnivores in the protected areas of the globe. |
