Food habits and activity patterns of the Asiatic golden cat (_Catopuma temminckii_) and dhole (_Cuon alpinus_) in a primary rainforest of Peninsular Malaysia
2008 Mammal Study (33): 173-177
Tropical rainforest of Southeast Asia are home to a rich diversity of lesser known carnivores, including the Asiatic golden cat (_Catopuma temminckii_) and dhole (_Cuon alpinus_). These medium-sized carnivores are found primarily in South and Southeast Asia and, while their distribution status is yet to be fully determined for some countries, over much of their range they appear to be sympatric. For both species, their populations in Peninsular Malaysia represent the southernmost extent of the continental distribution. The food habits of Asiatic golden cat and dhole were studied based on an analysis of scats collected at three sampling sites of 200 km2 each in lowland rainforest areas of Taman Negara between 1999 and 2001.
