Data on the ecology and geographical distribution of the jungle cat in Uzbekistan
1964 Uzbek Biological Journal: 1-7
The jungle cat - _Felis (Chaus) chaus G._ - is a typical inhabitant of _tugais_ (overgrown lowland areas, flooded during certain times of the year, along rivers or lakes in arid regions). Its pelts are stored in large quantities in our republic. Meanwhile, the biology of this predator is not sufficiently clarified. Our field collections and direct observations carried out in the Surkhan River basin since 1960 and in 1961 and also in the Amu-Dar'ya delta (Kara-Kalpak) in 1961, served as data for this work. In addition, collections from the Bukhara Regional Local History Museum, the museums of Samarkand and the Moscow State University, and the Zoological Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences were used.
