First ever footage of African golden cat sheds light on species
Camera trap film of one of the world’s most elusive cats shows the animal stalking a group of monkeys in Uganda
Conservationists have recorded the first ever video of the African golden cat, the continent’s least-studied wild cat and one of the planet’s most elusive.
In the footage, captured in Kibale national park in south Uganda, the cat stalks and rushes a group of red colobus monkeys before appearing to beat a retreat.
The camera trap film follows the recent publication of the first photographs of African golden cat kittens, which suggested that mothers of the two colourings of the species – a reddish brown and grey – can produce kittens of both colours.
