| Updating the Inventory of Zanzibar Leopard Specimens | |
| 2008 Cat News (49): 4-6 | |
The Zanzibar leopard _Panthera pardus adersi_ was once widespread on the Indian Ocean island of Unguja (Zanzibar, Tanzania), but most authorities now consider it to be extinct, or very nearly so (Anonymous 1997, Goldman & Walsh 2002). This little-known endemic has never been studied in the wild, and our knowledge of it therefore rests largely on historical and ethnographic reports Goldman & Walsh 1997, Walsh & Goldman 2007) and the physical evidence of museum specimens. |
