Study Identifies Seven Colour Morphs of Asiatic Golden Cat in Arunachal Pradesh
Researchers from the Wildlife Institute of India documented seven distinct coat colour morphs of the Asiatic golden cat in Arunachal Pradesh's West Kameng district, marking it as a hotspot for colour diversity in the Eastern Himalaya. The study, based on camera-trap surveys from 2022 to 2025, also recorded three morphs in Sikkim's Teesta basin. These findings, published in Mammalian Biology, expand understanding of the species' variation and highlight the region's ecological significance.
