Bay Cat Pardofelis badia Felis Profelis Catopuma Badiofelis Bornean Cat Bornean Red Cat Bornean Marbled Cat Borneo-katze, Chat Bai, Gato Rojo de Borneo, Kucing Kalimantan, Kucing Merahor or Bornean Bay Cat, and it is endemic to the island of Borneo. There is not much known about the Bay Cat due to its rarity. Until 1998, live specimens of this species had not even been caught on camera. Bay Cat is known from only about twelve specimens. The first specimen was collected by Alfred Russel Wallace in 1855 in Sarawak. The Bay Cat's fur is usually reddish brown, but there is also a grey colour variant, but it is usually paler on the underparts. The ears are short and rounded, set well down on the sides of the head. The body is faintly speckled with black markings, and spots on the lighter golden brown underside and limbs. The short, rounded head is dark greyish brown with two dark stripes originating from the corner of each eye, and the back of the head has a dark ‘M’ shaped marking. The backs of the ears are dark greyish. The underside of the chin is white and there are two faint brown stripes on the cheeks. Their long, tapering tail has a yellowish streak down its length on the underside, becoming pure white at the tip, which is marked with a small black spot. Body proportions and the extremely long tail give it the look of the new world jaguarundi. The bay cat is a unique species or merely a smaller island form of the Asian golden cat. With blood samples taken from the 1992 specimen, genetic testing has confirmed that they are indeed a unique species, and therefore a highly endangered one. No subspecies have been described. The Bay Cat has a length of 55 cm (22 in), plus a 35 cm (14 in) tail. The weight is only about to kg (5 to 10 lbs). The Bay Cat has 1-3 kittens born after 70-75 day gestation period, being sexually mature at 18 to 24 months.
