African golden cat vs. pangolin video

[DavidBrown]

A camera trap set up for chimpanzee observation in the Nigerian rain forest caught the first known video footage of the African golden cat. As if that weren't spectacular enough, the cat is attacking a pangolin and actually goes "pangolin bowling" as its prey rolls away in a ball.

As I noted on Facebook, the video makes me believe all the more that this species merits reclassification as Caracal aurata as opposed to being classed as Profelis as it is presently.
