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.

Assessment rationale/justification
Kingdon et al 2013 map this species as extending its range into Uganda in The Mt Elgon NP area, and it is known from other East African massifs. Two recent camera trap photos from MFNP are attributed to this species as they look like nothing else among the small sized carnivores and would represent the first known occurrence in Uganda beyond Mt Elgon. Not enough information to evaluate
