| First record of five Bornean Felidae in INIKEA forest rehabilitation project area, Malaysia | |
| 2019 Cat News (70): 28-31 | |
The presence of Bornean wild cats after 20 years of well-managed forest rehabilitation in the INIKEA project area was investigated using camera trapping. A total of 74 camera traps were set up at INIKEA Forest Rehabilitation Area leading to a total of 7,266 trap nights. Five species of Bornean Felidae were confirmed in the area: Sunda clouded leopard _Neofelis diardi_, marbled cat _Pardofelis marmorata_, Borneo bay cat _Catopuma badia_, leopard cat _Prionailurus bengalensis_ and flat-headed cat _Prionailurus planiceps_. Leopard cat was the most detected species accounted with 17 independent photographs, followed by Borneo bay cat (13 independent photographs), marbled cat (7 independent photographs), Sunda clouded leopard (6 independent photographs) and flat-headed cat (2 independent photographs). We also captured images of territorial dispute between marble cat and Borneo bay cat at one study location. Our results suggest that rehabilitated forest in INIKEA provides valuable habitat for wild felids. |
