Assessment rationale/justification
Few sightings in normal habitat for species (savanna) but does occur ocasionally in camera trap photos in forest; e.g. in forest/grassland mosaics in Kibale concurrently with servals and in farmland near Dura swamp area (D.R. Mills), which is probably an adaptation to prey availability. However, everywhere sparse and possibly less than 2000 mature individuals therefore needs further assessment as could be threatened.
