It could become threatened in the near future if current threats go unchecked.
The marbled cat is a small cat of South-East Asia with a marbled coat of large irregular blotches that recalls a clouded leopard in miniature. It is one of the most arboreal cats there is: it has the longest tail in proportion to the body of the whole family, short broad legs and very flexible ankles. It hunts squirrels, birds and reptiles in the canopy. It is so elusive and so scarce that almost everything known about it comes from camera traps and a few radio-tagged animals.
