This is a rare Bay Cat on the island of Borneo captured by the Borneo Nature Foundation. Here’s some more information about this rarely heard about wild cat: “The bay cat (Catopuma badia), also known as Borneo bay cat and Bornean bay cat, is a wild cat endemic to the island of Borneo that appears to be relatively rare compared to sympatric wild cats, based on the paucity of historical, as well as recent records. Since 2002, it has been listed as Endangered on the IUCN Red List because it is estimated that fewer than 2,500 mature individuals exist, and that the population declined in the past. The bay cat has been recorded as rare and seems to occur at relatively low density, even in pristine habitat.” - Wikipedia 1 The good news is that the Borneo Nature Foundation believes they’ve discovered a whole new population of these cats. . #WildCat #Borneo #BayCat #BorneoWildlife https://www.instagram.com/p/B33FUAZAARv/?igshid=lstpe4orjtk1
