| Carnivores of the Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia (Carnivora: Canidae, Felidae, Hyaenidae, Mustelidae) | |
| 2018 Lynx (Praha) (49): 77-90 | |
Between 2010 and 2017, records of carnivores in the Tabuk Province were gathered using camera traps, live traps and direct observations. Altogether seven species of carnivores representing four families were recorded: two felines, _Felis margarita _and _Panthera pardus nimr_, a hyaenid, _Hyaena hyaena_, a mustelid, _Mellivora capensis _and three canids, _Canis lupus_, _Vulpes cana _and _Vulpes vulpes_. For each species, a list of localities is given and its current distribution is described. Unfortunately, many of the reported specimens were killed by hunters or local people. Major threats to carnivores in the Tabuk Province, such as killing and hanging, are discussed and potential solutions are suggested. |
