| Range extension of rusty-spotted cat to the Indian Terai | |
| 2010 Cat News (53): 25-26 | |
Little is known about the northern most distribution of the rusty-spotted cat _Prionailurus rubiginosus_. During camera trapping to estimate the tiger population in Pilibhit forest division, this cat was photo captured four times at three different trap stations. Camera trapping was carried out in an area of 150 kmý over 30 trap stations for 40 trap days. This is the first record of rusty-spotted cat from the Indian Terai region. A species targeted study is recommended to generate information for the conservation of this vulnerable cat in its range. |
