| Road-kill record of a rusty-spotted cat in Shuklaphanta National Park, Nepal | |
| 2019 Cat News (69): 29-30 | |
The rusty-spotted cat _Prionailurus rubiginosus_ is the smallest felid in the world and is found only in Sri Lanka, India and Nepal. The first record of rusty-spotted cat in Nepal dates back to 2016 from the protected areas of western Terai. Very little is known about this elusive cat all over its distribution range owing to very few targeted studies. Here we present the opportunistic road kill record of a rusty-spotted cat near Arjuni Phanta in Shuklaphanta National Park, Nepal. |
