Two points:

1) This is being regarded as P. javanensis for the purposes of this challenge.
2) Where did you see this?

I was afraid I would get a comment from you on the taxonomy :p

The two glass-fronted enclosures left of the main entrance of the AB-house were still inhabited, one with the Leopard cat, the other with the Margay (Margay were also signed in the former Caracal enclosure, but I did only see their food there....)
 
Interesting :) when I visited they were only visible inside the ABH, and there were three glass-fronted enclosures where you describe. Given the fact they only had the two Margay to begin with, this implies either that more have been obtained or that they have been split up.

As for the taxonomy, look at it this way - you still have bengalensis to pick up!

I was basically to lazy to look up the name for the new split :p If I can make it to Parc des Felins this year I might see proper bengalensis, but I am not sure whether that will happen ;)

I guess split up, I saw only one cat and there also seemed to be only food for one individual. The Margay still had the left and middle enclosure, the Leopard cat the right one.

Giving two enclosures to a single individual is a bit of an odd way round to have things given they have a fair few of the Palawan cats :P still, good to know the species is still on-display.
