The African golden cat was recorded by a camera trap hunting during daylight in Kibale National Park, Uganda. This new footage shows an African golden cat hunting red colobus monkeys gathered around and feeding on the dead wood of a tree stump. It was recorded with a camera trap set by Samuel Angedakin, Kibale Project Manager for the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology's Pan African Programme: The Cultured Chimpanzee, in collaboration with the Ngogo Chimpanzee Project, Uganda Wildlife Authority and the Uganda National Council for Science and Technology. 'It is an exciting and rare glimpse into the world of this fascinating cat,' said Kaplan scholar and graduate student, David Mills. 'We know a lot more about golden cats than we did a few years ago and yet we still know almost nothing about their behaviour. 'Primatologists in Kibale have observed monkeys emitting alarm calls at golden cats on several occasions and, considering this latest evidence, it's not hard to see why.' Kaplan Scholar and graduate student, Laila Bahaa-el-din, said , 'An adult red colobus monkey is a considerable opponent for an African golden cat.
