SINGAPORE: The elusive leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) is known to roam offshore islands and the central and western catchment areas on the mainland, but there are signs it could now be in Changi, too.

The Singapore Wildcat Action Group (Swag), which is made up of volunteers, is proposing a rapid survey of the Changi coastal area in 2025, and will be applying to the National Parks Board (NParks) for a research permit, said its co-director Vilma D’Rozario.
