New evidence for the occurrence of the Anatolian Leopard, Panthera pardus tulliana (Valenciennes, 1856), in Western Turkey
1993  Mammalia (57): 5-14

The continuing existence of the Anatolian Leopard (Panthera pardus tulliana) in western Turkey has long been questioned due to the lack of new data. During several visits to southwestern Anatolia between 1985 and 1992, new information has been obtained. The finding of fresh fecal pellets in spring 1992 indicates the survival of the species in the Termessos National Park. Further data based on interviews with local people suggests that Leopard populations survive in eastern Lycia and in parts of western Lycia.
