Diet selection of snow leopard (Panthera uncia) in Chitral, Pakistan

Abstract: IntroductionThe snow leopard is categorized as endangered in the 2009 IUCN Red List (IUCN, 2009). In Chitral Gol National Park, the status of snow leopard had changed from Tenuous Security to Seriously Threatened by 1974 as a result of hunting (Schaller, 1976). According to Ahmed (1994), the snow leopard faces problems of survival caused by the fur trade, conflicts with grazer communities, and the reduction of natural prey.Snow leopard inhabits high mountainous regions of Central and South Asia. Generally, it … Show more

“…Depredation on livestock in Bhutan was lower than reported in the majority of studies conducted across some of the twelve snow leopard range countries (Anwar et al ., 2011; Shehzad et al ., 2012; Wegge et al ., 2012; Devkota et al ., 2013; Chetri et al ., 2017). While livestock depredation in Bhutan was 14% (this study), it was 24% in central Bhutan (Jamtsho, 2017) and in the other countries it ranged between 26% in Chitral GoI National Park and adjacent areas in Pakistan (Khatoon et al ., 2017) and 58% in the Kibber Wildlife Sanctuary in India (Bagchi & Mishra, 2006). As suggested by Bagchi & Mishra (2006), we believe that these differences and the comparatively low percentage in our study may be due to a favourable ratio of livestock to wild prey in Bhutan.…”

“…We did not observe any other domestic prey item besides yak, while horse, sheep and goat were reported in Nepal, India, Bhutan and Pakistan (Bagchi & Mishra, 2006; Sangay & Vernes, 2008; Chetri et al ., 2017; Khatoon et al ., 2017). The absence of horses in the present study may be either a result of their being relatively easy to kill compared to their wild relatives, or as a result of better protection scheme due to past losses (Sangay & Vernes, 2008; Mishra et al ., 2016; Tshering & Thinley, 2017; Jamtsho & Katel, 2019).…”
