| Rusty-spotted cat more common than we think? | |
| 2010 Cat News (53): 27-27 | |
The rusty-spotted cat _Prionailurus rubiginosus_ is the smallest wild cat species that occurs only in India and Sri Lanka. Available information relies on a few sightings across its range and the species is thought to be rare. In this short note, I report a breeding population of rusty-spotted cats from a human dominated agricultural landscape in W. Maharashtra. I propose that we should also focus on agricultural landscapes, which are likely to have high rodent densities, to study some of the smaller wild cat species of India. |
