The Asian Golden Cat (Catopuma temminckii) is a medium-sized wild cat found in the forests of Southeast Asia, including countries like Thailand, Vietnam, and India. It has a distinctive golden-brown coat with dark spots and stripes, which helps it blend into its natural habitat. This solitary animal is primarily nocturnal and is known for its agility and climbing skills. The diet of the Asian Golden Cat mainly consists of small mammals, birds, and reptiles. It plays a crucial role in its ecosystem by helping to control prey populations. Unfortunately, habitat loss and poaching threaten its survival, leading to its classification as near threatened on the IUCN Red List.
