I would have liked to have been able to add Iberian Lynx to my list as I visited Selwo Aventura recently (as in less than 3 weeks ago), however the proper lynx enclosure with glass viewing and few hiding places was being renovated so the lynx were moved to their larger, natural, hilly enclosure meaning I could not spot it, even after 15 attempts.:mad:

I have seen them in a few small zoos in Borneo - there was one in a crocodile farm and another in a Mini Zoo. I have also visited Lok Kawi and I am also pretty certain that they have a sunda clouded leopard/s.

Wow I knew about Lok Kawi (Sunda clouded leopard) but I thought that was the only one. Were the other two a long time ago or recent? What were the enclosures like?
 
If I remember correctly, @Vision has seen one at Taman Safari II ;). According to the pictures I've found on the web, it seems to be a dimly-lit exhibit for one individual but I can't tell more about it since I've never been to Taman Safari (nor have I ever seen a Sunda clouded leopard; even though I wish to :P ).

I've seen almost exactly the same cat species as you have, "Dassie rat", although I have also been fortunate enough to see marbled cat and flat-headed cat too. Unfortunately, though, I only saw the latter species on one occasion and all I saw was a ball of fur, curled up in the corner of its cage; I never managed to get a good view of it.

I imagine he saw the African Golden Cat back when Port Lympne and Howletts had the species; I believe the latter did not hold them for long, but the former held them until the late 1990s. He is a lucky bastard at any rate :p

Yes, I suspect you're correct. I've only ever seen African golden cat in Aspinall's collection so imagine the same is true for "Dassie rat".

I was fortunate enough to see them many times at Port Lympne; I recall that one of the individuals there was very heavily spotted.
