| Status of caracal in Bahram'gur Protected Area, Iran | |
| 2009 Cat News (50): 10-13 | |
The current status and distribution of caracal _Caracal caracal_ in Bahram'gur Protected Area (BPA), southern Iran, were studied using different methods for 12 months. Direct observations were restricted to spot-lighting at night, a method which produced three caracal observations. Twelve photos of a male caracal were taken with camera traps. The main prey items were determined from a limited number of scat samples to be cape hare Lepus capensis and various rodents. Attack by herd dogs and road kills were determined to be the main threats facing this species in BPA. |
