Marbled cat  (Pardofelis marmorata)

Found from northern India and Nepal, through south-eastern Asia to Borneo and Sumatra (9). Most records of this cat are from single observations and its distribution may therefore be wider than currently known (4).

Although primarily thought to be an inhabitant of moist tropical forest, the marbled cat's specific habitat requirements are poorly known, with only anecdotal information available (1). In fact, this species has been recorded in a wide range of habitats from sea level up to 3,000 meters (2), including mixed deciduous-evergreen forest, secondary forest, clearings, six-year-old logged forest, Dipterocarp forest and a rocky river-cliff overgrown with scrub and low bush (1).
