| First photographic record of Asiatic wildcat in Bandhavgarh TR, India | |
| 2017 Cat News (65): 35-35 | |
The Asiatic wildcat _Felis silvestris ornata _is one of five subspecies of the wildcat _Felis silvestris_ listed as Least Concern in the IUCN Red list. Being previously unreported in Bandhavgarh Tiger Reserve TR, we provide here the first photographic evidences of Asiatic wildcat in Bandhavgarh TR from a camera trap survey. During subsequent camera trapping, we recorded kittens of Asiatic wildcat, strongly suggesting the existence of a breeding population in Bandhavgarh TR. |
