Morphological characteristics and affinities of the Chinese mountain cat, Felis bieti (Preliminary Report)
2000 Full Book
The purpose of this study was gathering some basic information about one of the most poorly known living felids, the Chinese mountain cat, Felis bieti. Our previous knowledge about it is only based on the descriptions of two skulls and a few skins, published more than 80 years ago (Milne-Edwards 1892, Birula 1917, L”nnberg 1926, and others). This project was conceived to reach some of the aims of the priority Project 76 of the Cat Action Plan (Nowell and Jackson, 1996) "Natural History, distribution and status of the Chinese mountain cat". Among the activities proposed to conduct this project was a trip to China to study a sample as large as possible of collection specimens and/or alive individuals of this species, as well as to collect information about the distribution and status of the species.
