Records of Rusty-Spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus (I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1831) (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) in Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary, Rajasthan, India2020 •
The Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus is the smallest cat in the world and restricted to the Indian subcontinent. Although it has been recorded across India, its ecology is poorly understood. In the northwestern state of Rajasthan, it has been recorded in the dry deciduous forest landscapes of Udaipur, Sariska, and Ranthambore. We report camera trap records of the Rusty-Spotted Cat in semi evergreen and dry deciduous forests in Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary, Rajasthan. In the current study from September 2017 to April 2018, out of 1,800 camera trapping nights the species was recorded on ten occasions, at four different locations in Mount Abu Wildlife Sanctuary.

First photographic record of the Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus (I. Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, 1831) (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) in Horton Plains National Park, Sri LankaThe Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus is thought to be present in most forested areas of Sri Lanka. Though it was suggested that the species may occur in montane regions, there was no photographic evidence to date. Here we present the first photographic record of the Rusty-spotted Cat in Horton Plains National Park. Individuals including cubs were photo-captured on 15 separate occasions during a 5,538 camera trap days study. These photo-captures were made both during the day and night, and indicate the presence of a breeding population in this protected area.

The Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus (I. Geoffroy Saint-Hillaire, 1831) (Mammalia: Carnivora: Felidae) in Rajasthan, India – a compilation of two decadesIn Rajasthan, the presence of the Rusty-spotted Cat Prionailurus rubiginosus was first reported in 1994 in Udaipur District, the southernmost district of Rajasthan. Since then, it was also recorded in four more districts scattered over an area of about 86,205km2. We compiled information about the occurrence of the Rusty-spotted Cat in Rajasthan based on direct sightings, road kills, rescued kittens, and camera trap images. Our data set shows that the Rusty-spotted Cat is also present in eight more districts of Rajasthan that form part of the Aravalli Hills and Vindhyan Hills in the semi-arid zone of eastern Rajasthan. The area encompassed by these records amounts to 71,586km2. Kittens were rescued in six instances. Adult cats were recorded in 45 instances including 41 live cats and four roadkills. Ten adult live Rusty-spotted Cats were sighted in the mornings, and 31 were recorded after dark between late evenings and early mornings. They were recorded in eight habitat types ...

Rusty-spotted cat is captured in Khusumdihi Reserve Forest, Tamra Range from Bonai Forest Division using camera trap. This captured is new record to the Bonai Forest Division, Sundargarh, Odisha. The photographs and habitat is provided.

The leopard cat Prionailurus bengalensis has a widespread distribution across Asia. We describe two recent photographic records of leopard cats from the northern Western Ghats in India. One individual was sighted and a video documented in Mahabaleshwar at 23:00 h on 19 February 2014, and two individuals were photographed in Dajipur, Radhanagari Wildlife Sanctuary at 20:49 h on 21 March 2014. These are likely to be the first photographic records from these areas in the northern Western Ghats. They are important from a conservation stand-point as the Western Ghats leopard cat population may be isolated from the rest of its range.

Records of the globally threatened Rusty-spotted cat in Odisha, India2019 •
The Rusty-spotted Cat, Prionailurus rubiginosus, is a vulnerable species, endemic to India, Nepal and Sri Lanka. The goal of the study is to provide an overview of the current distribution of the Rusty-spotted Cat in Odisha state through camera trap survey, review of published scientific literature and rescue records. This study presents 14 localities including seven new localities from the Odisha state in India. A long-term study, habitat protection and studying its ecology are recommended for initiating further steps to conserve its range.
The conservation status of South-east Asia’s nine species of non-Panthera cat is im- precisely known. Flat-headed cat Prionailurus planiceps, bay cat Catopuma badia and Sunda clouded leopard Neofelis diardi are confined to South-east Asia, while Asiatic golden cat Catopuma temminckii, marbled cat Pardofelis marmorata and mainland clouded leopard Neofelis nebulosa occur mostly there. The recent great increase in camera-trapping is generating many verifiable records of non-Panthera cats, usually as by-catch to the surveys’ foci. Inspection of such records from My- anmar, Thailand and Vietnam (whole country reviews) and Cambodia, Lao PDR, Ma- laysia and Sumatra (Indonesia; single-landscape reviews) show that the evergreen forest species – the two allopatric Catopuma species, the two parapatric clouded leopard species, leopard cat Prionailurus bengalensis and marbled cat Pardofelis marmorata – are all recorded widely. In well-protected areas of suitable habitat they are found mostly commonly; but densities are much reduced, even in large little- fragmented and little-degraded landscapes, where snaring is heavy (Vietnam and Nakai–Nam Theun, Lao PDR). Leopard cat is considerably more resilient than are the others. By contrast, only Cambodian dry forest was found to hold many jungle cats Felis chaus (apparently suitable habitat in Myanmar is poorly surveyed); fishing cat Prionailurus viverrinus records are exceptional outside surveys specifically for them, and the species seems to have a small, fragmented and vulnerable range in South-east Asia; flat-headed cat has been found widely, but rarely, within its (also fragmented) range. These last three, particularly fishing cat, are served poorly by South-east Asian protected areas. The global priority species for South-east Asia are arguably flat-headed cat because it occurs nowhere else, and fishing cat be- cause no large populations are known from anywhere. By contrast, jungle cat is still apparently numerous outside South-east Asia. With no major near-term increase in conservation attention likely for these nine cat species, regular reviews, duly attend- ing to misidentification risk, of their camera-trap by-catch records could help track, coarsely, seven species’ status. Fishing cat, however, requires directed monitoring because of both its apparent perilous status and its non-overlap with typical camera- trap areas; flat-headed cat would also benefit strongly from this.
