Measuring Prints
When it comes to measuring paw prints, or "pugmarks", there can be some overlap between adult leopards and young tigers. According to a 2005 Pugmark Guide, plushed by WWF - India,
1. Pugmarks with PML less than 6 cms are likely to belong to
lesser cats.
2. PML of pugmarks falling between 5 - 7 cms could belong to
leopard cubs.
3. PML of pugmarks falling between 7 - 9.5 cms may belong
to adult leopards.
4. Pugmarks with PML falling between 7 - 10 cms could have
been made by Tiger cubs.
5. PMLs from 9 - 17 cms indicate adult tigers.
Species Diversity
We've been able to identify many species in the project area, coexisting with villagers. We also believe that a few species, such as the nalgai antelope, which have never been recorded in the area, are also present. We hope to confirm nalgai antelope and other species never recorded in this region of Nepal.
