African golden cats, which are listed in the near threated by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), are in the forests of Central and West Africa. They were photographed for the first time in the wild in 2002, and once in a while, new footage of animals there. African golden cat is hardly ever photographed in the wild. In their rare cameo camera traps, cats, usually seen licking their spotted fur or innocently checking unfamiliar objects.

"We know a lot more about the golden cats than we did a few years ago, and yet we still know almost nothing about their behavior," David Mills, a graduate student at the University of KwaZulu-Natal (UKZN) in South Africa, said in a statement. "Primatologists have seen monkeys in Kibale emitting alarm calls on the golden cats in some cases, and in view of this latest evidence, it is not difficult to understand why."

Within two generations of continued massive population growth, this cat, its natural environment, and much of all other life on Earth will be gone. We are seeing the last stages of the sixth great extinction, caused by us.

Beautiful animal. There are so many types of wild cats in the world. I was surprised to learn how many. I'm glad they showed the film in slow motion. I couldn't tell what was happening in the normal version.

So many species just hanging on and global warming hasn't really kicked in yet.
Enjoy them while you can.
