| First record of Pallas's cat in Uttarakhand, Nelang valley, Gangotri National Park, India | |
| 2019 Cat News (69): 24-26 | |
The knowledge of presence and distribution of Pallas's cat_ Otocolobus manul_ in its southern distribution limits which includes the Trans-Himalayan region of India and neighbouring countries is limited to few confirmed records. Here, we report the first record of Pallas's cat at a site (4,800 m, 31ø20'4.8444'' N / 79ø11'40.9812'' E) in Nelang valley of Gangotri National Park GNP in Uttarakhand, Western Himalaya, India. The current information on the distribution of this species might underestimate the actual range of occurrence and needs dedicated studies on its occurrence and threats. |
