Saturday, January 3rd 2026

A flat-headed cat is filmed in Borneo, three decades after it was thought to be completely extinct. This small feline is one of the species in danger of extinction, and in Asia it is thought that there are about 10 specimens, while in the whole world it is hoped that there will be 2500, and for this reason this video is considered quite important.

This wild cat has rarely been seen by humans, and the information we have about it is scarce.
It is a feline whose habitat is tropical forests, near water areas, mainly in Sumatra, Brunei, Thailand, it feeds mainly on frogs, fish and birds, and as a rare feline, it is able to swim very easily.

In appearance, it has fur in shades of gray and brown, weighs a maximum of about 2.5 kg with a length of 45–50 cm.
The published images were filmed in Malaysia, in the Tangkulap Protected Forest, on the island of Borneo. The causes of the threat and disappearance of the flat-headed cat, among the rarest in the world, is the loss and reduction of the natural habitat, a change which, according to experts, has occurred aggressively.
