| Occurrence of melanistic leopard in Odisha, eastern India | |
| 2018 Cat News (68): 7-8 | |
Although melanistic leopards _Panthera pardus_ have been frequently observed in parts of South Asia and occasionally in India, no such records exist for Odisha. During camera trap surveys of large carnivores in Sundargarh Forest Division, Odisha, India, we obtained photographs of melanistic leopards between January 2018 and April 2018. These are the first confirmed records of melanistic leopard in Odisha, eastern India. |
