    Like many of Anthony's research projects, this is an acutely important endeavour to gain a better understanding of an enigmatic species that's headed towards extinction. I wish him and all his collaborators the best for this valuable study.

    Lol thanks Cindy!! Although I work a lot with larger cats, I have found that many small cats need so much more conservation attention. And this is one of those species!!

    I hope the Javan Fishing Cat is still around! Before meeting you, I thought the only cats that fished were cats in cartoons.
