| Ecological study on the two species of felidae in Japan in: WILDLIFE CONSERVATION Present Trends and Perspectives for the 21th Century | |
| 1990 Conference Proceeding | |
There are two endemic species of wild Felidae in Japan, the Iriomote cat _(Felis irimotensis)_ and the Tsushima leopard cat _(Felis bengalensis_ _euptilura)._ The latter is considered to be a sub species of the leopard cat. The ecological studies of these two cats have been conducted since 1982 and 1985 respectively, mainly by using the radio-tracking method. The aim of this paper was to explain the present status and the con servational problems of these two species. |
