| The discovery of two spotted leopards (_Panthera pardus_) in Peninsular Malaysia | |
| 2015 Tropical Conservation Science (8): 732-737 | |
We discovered the presence of two individual spotted leopards _Panthera pardus_ in Ulu Muda Forest Reserve, a previously under-researched selectively logged rainforest of Peninsular Malaysia. These findings are unexpected, because only two other studies have detected the spotted morph amongst many other melanistic leopards caught on camera traps in Peninsular Malaysia. We discuss the implications of our findings with respect to the prevalence of melanism among leopards in the region. |
