| 2010 Cat News (Special Issue 5): 26-29 | |
The leopard cat is widely distributed over China and exists probably in relatively large numbers compared to other felid species. With the exception of the deserts in the west, dry wilderness areas, and central parts of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, it is distributed all over the country (Lu & Sheng 1986b, Smith & Xie 2008). In the 1990s leopard cats have even been reported from the outskirts of Beijing, where they were thought to have disappeared years ago (Nowell & Jackson 1996). However, only very few studies have really looked into the present status of the leopard cat. |
