POSSIBLY EXTINCT FLAT-HEADED CAT CAUGHT ON CAMERA — FIRST WILD SIGHTING IN 30 YEARS 🐾

For the first time in three decades, one of the world’s most elusive wild cats — the flat-headed cat — has been captured on camera in the wild, stunning conservationists and offering new hope for the species. 

Once feared possibly extinct in Thailand after the last confirmed sighting in 1995, the small feline has reappeared in southern Thailand’s Princess Sirindhorn Wildlife Sanctuary, where remote camera traps recorded the species 29 times between 2024 and 2025. 

Notably, some footage shows a female flat-headed cat with her cub — a rare and encouraging indication that the species is still reproducing in the wild. 

Flat-headed cats (Prionailurus planiceps) are among the world’s rarest felines, with fewer than an estimated 2,500 adults remaining globally. They are tiny — roughly the size of a domestic cat — and are adapted to life in wetland habitats, using their webbed paws to swim and hunt fish, frogs, and other aquatic prey. 

The rediscovery was made possible through a joint conservation effort led by Thailand’s Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation and the wildlife organization Panthera, which conducted the largest-ever survey of the species in the region. 

Conservationists say the find is a milestone moment for wildlife protection, underscoring that even species once thought lost can still persist — but only if their fragile habitats are preserved against ongoing threats like agricultural expansion and habitat loss.

The pink platypus was filmed in a remote East Gippsland river, and locals have nicknamed it Pinky.

Experts suggest rare pigmentation like albinism or leucism, and sightings years apart hint it may be the same animal.
