geovalin Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 An Asiatic golden cat, a rare species in the world, has been captured on camera by experts at the Virachey National Park in Ratanakiri province. The Asiatic golden cat (Catopuma temminckii) is a medium-sized wild cat in the family of eight tigers that have been in Cambodia and is now spotted again. It is in the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List of Threatened species. Ministry of Environment spokesman Neth Pheaktra said they have automatic cameras installed strategically at the Virachey National Park, an Asean Natural Heritage Park, to capture images of rare wildlife species which is then viewed by a research team from the ministry’s Department of Nature Conservation every three months with the last footage reviewed from March to May. He said it was during this viewing that the research team spotted an image of the Asiatic golden cat. He added there is very little record on Asiatic golden cats as they were spotted previously in Sre Pok Wildlife Sanctuary, Phnom Prech Wildlife Sanctuary and in the Cardamom Mountains, now in Virachey National Park. read more https://www.khmertimeskh.com/50883244/worlds-rarest-species-confirmed-in-cambodia/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
