Cats in the boulders: records of four cat species from Jawai, western India
2023 Cat News (78): 19-20
We report four sympatric cat species from the semiarid landscape of Jawai, Rajasthan, in western India, namely the Asiatic wild cat _Felis lybica ornata _(Gray 1830), jungle cat _Felis chaus_ (Schreber 1777), leopard _Panthera pardus _(Linnaeus 1758) and rusty-spotted cat _Prionailurus rubiginosus _(Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire 1834). The species' presence was confirmed with direct sightings and photos captured by motion-sensor camera traps deployed between January 2017 to April 2017. This article contributes to a better understanding of the distribution of these species.
