From a mention on this thread: TLD's Photographic Guide To The New Felid Taxonomy There is a Bay Cat on display at Taman Safari 1 at Bogor in eastern Java. Photo here, taken 13 March 2018: Catopuma badia - Borneo-Goldkatze - Borneo Bay cat I can't see any information on Google otherwise about it.
It'd be very interesting to know the origin of it. What's the history of this species in captivity? zootierliste mentions one individual at Rome zoo, is this the only one outside of southeast Asia?
That Rome record might be dodgy. I remember it being discussed briefly on Zoochat before - I'll have to try and find it again - I think it's just based on a passing mention in the zoo records.
Found it: Iberian Lynx trip report In fact the "discussion" was just @Arizona Docent mentioning it and me wondering if it really was a Bay Cat.
Given the fact that at the time Bay Cat was regarded as a subspecies of Asian Golden Cat, I have long-suspected that the record in question may apply to a Asian Golden Cat which came into the collection from a shipment which left Indonesia from Borneo, but which was not necessarily captured *in* Borneo. In the intervening time someone has seen a record of a Golden Cat arriving from Borneo and jumped to a conclusion which may or may not be correct.
That photo was taken 20 days after my visit, and there's no reason to think it was the first day it was on show. The chance it was onsite when I was there is fairly high I think. @devilfish, did you book your flight yet?
It's sort of like (but much worse) when I found out later that the Assam Zoo almost certainly had a melanistic Golden Cat right when I was there, but it wasn't on show that I saw.
I think this is (clearly) an error in the data, but the CITES Trade Database has two live Catopuma badia being exported from Malaysia to Canada for breeding in 2000.
And I found the other thread on Zoochat where I was talking about the Rome Bay Cat: Very Exotic Shape/Size/Colour of Tropical Animal, Present Yours? So basically it is an animal which lived less than two months and was not preserved. It could have been a Bay Cat or it could have been a misidentified Asiatic Golden Cat. There's no way to know one way or the other.
A bay cat on display at Taman Safari? I only have one thing to say about that. Aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
This blog post from 2013 also shows a Sunda clouded leopard (N Diardii) at Taman Safari Bogor (scroll down to the the third animal): May | 2013 | photoplusbyritasim | Page 6 The cat in the photo appears quite young. Is it possible they have this AND bay cat???
Actually you used the photo by @Vision which was taken at Taman Safari 2. The photo at Taman Safari Bogor is by @devilfish.
