Asian golden cat
The Asian golden cat (''Catopuma temminckii'', syn. ''Pardofelis temminckii''), also called the Asiatic golden cat and Temminck's cat, is a medium-sized wild cat of Southeastern Asia. In 2008, the IUCN classified Asian golden cats as ''Near Threatened'', stating that the species comes close to qualifying as ''Vulnerable'' due to hunting pressure and habitat loss, since Southeast Asian forests are undergoing the world's fastest regional deforestation.
The Asian golden cat was named in honor of the Dutch zoologist Coenraad Jacob Temminck, who first described the African golden cat in 1827.〔

The pelage is uniform in color, but highly variable, ranging from red to golden-brown, dark brown to pale cinnamon, and gray to black. Transitional forms among the different colorations also exist. It may be marked with spots and stripes. White and black lines run across the cheeks and up to the top of the head, while the ears are black with a central gray area.〔 Golden cats with leopard-like spots have been found in China, resembling large leopard cats. This spotted fur is a recessive characteristic.〔Allen, G.M. (1938). ''The mammals of China and Mongolia.'' New York: American Museum of Natural History.〕
