What is an Asian gold cat?

Asian gold cat is a kind of wilderness, located in a number of areas in Southeast Asia. Cats are usually about 30 pounds (13 kg) and an average of about 4 feet long (1.2 meters). Their coat is often a golden shade, as their name would suggest, but in fact there are quite a large number of variations depending on where they are, in some areas they have gray fur or spots in some areas. Asian gold cat is a predatory lonely animal and can be somewhat elusive. They are protected by some governments and the population is considered somewhat endangered.

Most Asian gold cats are found in wooded environments, areas that provide enough cover and a diverse set of food sources. They are located in a number of places in Southeast Asia, including places such as India, China, Thailand and Vietnam. Population in some areas began to differ from each other to the point where their appearance is in terms of coloring fur variable but still all are allconsidered the only species.

Like most other cats, Asian gold cat is a secret hunter and is considered quite capable. These animals hunt everything from reptiles to a small deer and are actually known to occasionally hunting animals that are significantly larger than they would probably expect. For example, they were accused of threatening livestock in some areas, with younger cows and other farm animals, a problem that led to a certain level of persecution.

In many small cat species, it is often difficult for scientists and natural scientists to look at their behavior well. Animals are generally very ashamed of contact with humans and usually tend to remain very well hidden. For this reason, there are still many gaps in knowledge of the Asian golden cat in terms of behavior. In captivity there are several, anyone's reality is known to be quite tamed, but experts suggestThat it is difficult to extrapolate a lot of captured behavior when trying to determine exactly how wild samples behave. It is generally known that they have about two to four kittens in a typical litter and that animals tend to be very territorial, live a relatively lonely life when they do not interact for mating purposes.

Due to the overall difficulty in studying Asian gold cats in the wild, experts are not entirely sure how animals can be at risk. In some areas, they are valued for their fur, which has led to a certain hunt and are also killed because they are assumed that they are threatened by livestock. It is believed that these problems, in addition to the shrinking habitat and the possible reduction in food availability, contribute to factors that can to some extent endanger the species.
