Record of rusty-spotted cat from Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary, Madhya Pradesh, India
2012  Cat News (57): 22-23

The rusty-spotted cat _Prionailurus rubiginosus_ is the smallest felid and is restricted in its distribution to India and Sri Lanka. Although reported to occur throughout India, information about its populations, occurrence and ecology is largely lacking. Consequently, the present distribution range of the species is to a large extent speculative and often inferred from the opportunistic sightings of this species. In this paper, we present a photographic record of this species from a human dominated area in the vicinity of Kuno Wildlife Sanctuary, India.
