Bay cat (Catopuma badia)
Museum specimen
Why is the Bay cat special?

The Bay cat is one of four Endangered cats in the world.  There
are only two camera trap pictures of the cat in the wild.  Other
observations of the cat exist but nothing is known of the cat in
the wild.

We are trying to identify a site where we can undertake a more
detailed study of the cat and threats to its existence.  One
observation suggests that the cat is found in partially logged
forests. If so, this is good news.
