Asiatic golden cat rediscovered in Assam's Manas National Park after 16-year absence.

Conservationists from the Assam Forest Department and Aaranyak have confirmed the Asiatic golden cat's presence in Assam's Manas National Park after a 16-year absence. Previous extensive camera trapping efforts from 2011 to 2018 found no evidence, but two photographs were captured in late 2019 and early 2021. The species, listed as Near Threatened, inhabits a range of environments and is protected under India's Wildlife Protection Act.
