Using camera traps, British biologists have captured photographs of the world’s least known cat, the bay cat (Pardofelis badia).

Very charismatic cat. I’m charmed.

Great!

But I'd rather find a Tasmanian tiger.

cool. I want one.

[Ruy Dias de Bivar]

Shucks! I hoped it would be the Sumatran Rat Monkey.

Poor kitty.

[Bon of Babble]

Nice Kitty!!

Adults grow as long as 50-60 cm with a 30 – 40 cm long tail

I think they meant to say it could grow 50-60 cm tall.

"And then I told them, I said, like, I'm all..."

"... 'yeah, I'll let you take my picture JUST THIS ONCE...'"

That’s a cool cat. Very sleek!

Gorgeous kitteh, very distinctive face.

The look of this cat intrigues me. Its head is odd, very low-browed, almost lizard-like. The flank, at least in this photo, seems to have a dog-like aspect.

I think if I saw this thing in the wild, I’d be tempted to call it a chupacabra! ;o)

Very pretty kitty.

But I am puzzled by the use of the word “charismatic” in the description. I am picturing it as speaking in tongues, as I am unfamiliar with a usage in environmental science. Help!
