| Camera-trap record of felid species from Kanchanjuri wildlife corridor, Assam, India | |
| 2014 Cat News (60): 28-30 | |
We used camera traps in Kanchanjuri, one of the four wildlife corridors linking Kaziranga National Park and the foothill forest of Karbi Anglong district, to understand the use of corridors by wildlife and their movement patterns. We obtained photographs of tiger_ Panthera tigris_, leopard _P. pardus_ (both normal and melanistic morphs) and Asiatic golden cat _Catopuma temminckii_. These are the first photographic records of the use of the Kanchanjuri corridor by these three species of felids. We present our findings to emphasise the importance of these corridors and the adjoining habitats so that they can receive priority for protection and conservation. |
