| Records of deaths of Iriomote cat, Felis iriomotensis 2 | |
| 1993 Island Studies in Okinawa (11): 107-112 | |
Three cases of deaths of Iriomote cat, _Felis iriomotensis,_ occurred from February to April, 1993. Pathological post-morten examinations were conducted on the three carcasses as well as another one which died in February 1992. The four specimens, all adult males, included two very old and one relatively young individuals. Results of investigations indicate that these animals were killed by injuries and fractures from some external forces, and serious infection of parasites. |
