In a heavily logged part of Northern Borneo, scientists had dismal hopes of finding the elusive bay cat, a species thought to number around 2,500 individuals. However, scientists received much more than they anticipated. Not only did scientists capture a bay cat, they also documented four other rare cat species on their camera. They recorded the Sunda clouded leopard, a leopard cat, flat-headed cat and the marbled cat. Three of these four cat species are considered vulnerable to extinction. This concentration of rare cat species has never been recorded before, particularly in the heavily logged island of Borneo. Hopefully with this new information, we can better protect these magnificent cat species.
