Status of felids in Makalu-Barun National Park, Nepal
2012 Cat News (56): 23-27
The status of felid species was assessed in Makalu-Barun National Park and Buffer Zone during April - May 2009, November - December 2009 and June - July 2010 at an altitude of 1,600-3,500 m. During a camera trapping survey with a sampling effort of 1,184 trap nights, leopard cat and Asiatic golden cat were photographed. Leopard cat was observed to be the most common felid species. Only indirect evidences suggested the presence of jungle cat and leopard, both of which are threatened due to conflict with humans.
