    What an incredible highlight, both the species and the country are new to JungleDragon, and it is rare for new mammals to be introduced. Well done! Posted 10 years ago

    Cool - I've never hear of it. I'd guess it's far overshadowed by it's bigger cousins - lions, cheetahs, leopards. His face reminds me of a cougar, but it sounds like he's a lot smaller. Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

    How fantastic, like Ferdy says, not often new mammals are introduced and what a magnificent one this is! Posted 10 years ago

The African golden cat

The African golden cat is a medium-sized wild cat distributed over the rainforests of West and Central Africa. It is about 80 cm long, and has a tail of about 30 cm in length. It is a close relative of both the caracal and the serval, but current classification places it as the only member of the genus ''Profelis''.
