An Asian Golden Cat Is Suspected in a Recent Wild Animal Attack

A 56-year-old man sustained injuries to his head, hands, and legs following an attack by a wild animal, which the Negeri Sembilan Wildlife and National Parks Department (Perhilitan) suspects to be an Asian golden cat. The incident reportedly occurred early Saturday morning near the victim’s goat pen in Kampung Pauh Terachi, Tanjung Ipoh, Kuala Pilah. Perhilitan officers visited the injured victim, who is currently receiving treatment at Tuanku Ampuan Najihah Hospital.
