Survey of the Clouded Leopard (Neofelis nebulosa) in north-eastern India
1995 Full Book
India and Nepal constitute the western limit of the clouded leopard's distribution. Within India, it is reported from the north-eastern states of Sikkim, northern West Bengal, Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Meghalaya, Mizoram and Tripura. Little information exists, however on this species within the Indian subcontinent besides what was obtained from two surveys conducted in the states of Assam, Mizoram and Sikkim. This survey was carried out between October 1994 and April 1995, in two protected areas located in Arunachal Pradesh and Meghalaya. The objectives of this survey were: 1. To collect information on the habits, prey species selection and identify threats faced by the clouded leopard in the areas surveyed. 2. To assess abundance of potential prey species of the clouded leopard. 3. To suggest methods which may be useful for future research on this species.
