En Tailandia, el gato de cabeza plana figuraba desde hace años como probablemente extinto, luego de que su último avistamiento confirmado se registrara en 1995.
TL;DR
- The flat-headed cat, long presumed extinct in Thailand after its last confirmed sighting in 1995, has been rediscovered.
- A 2024 study using camera traps in the Princess Sirindhorn Wildlife Sanctuary recorded 29 sightings of the species.
- The flat-headed cat is characterized by its nocturnal and elusive behavior, and its habitat in wetland ecosystems like peat swamps and freshwater mangroves makes it difficult to study.
- While the exact number of individuals is unknown due to a lack of distinguishing features, specialists believe the sightings indicate a relatively high concentration in the monitored area.
- A key finding was the sighting of a female with her kitten, which is particularly relevant given the species' low reproductive rate.
