 Mystery cat of Flores

The ngo ngoe is an unknown felid in which the Nage people of Flores, Indonesia, believe.  It may not be a distinct species, but maybe a large feral cat.  It may also be a leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis).  It should not be forgotten that Flores was where the remains of Homo floresiensis were found and that the Nage believe in what may be their descendants - a race called the Ebu Gogo.
