Cephalopagus conjoined twins in a leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis).
Case reports of conjoined twins ("Siamese twins") in wild mammals are scarce. Most published reports of conjoined twins in mammals concern cases in man and domestic mammals. This article describes a case of cephalopagus conjoined twins in a leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) collected on the island of Sumatra, Indonesia, in the period 1873-76. A review of known cases of conjoined twinning i...
متن کاملEarliest “Domestic” Cats in China Identified as Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis)

متن کاملHabitat Mapping of the Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) in South Korea Using GIS
The purpose of this study was to create maps of potentially sustainable leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) habitats for all of South Korea. The leopard cat, which is on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List, is the only member of the Felidae family in Korea.

متن کاملVariations in leopard cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) skull morphology and body size: sexual and geographic influences
The leopard cat, Prionailurus bengalensis (Kerr, 1792), is one of the most widespread Asian cats, occurring in continental eastern and southeastern Asia. Since 1929, several studies have focused on the morphology, ecology, and taxonomy of leopard cats. Nevertheless, hitherto there has been no agreement on basic aspects of leopard cat biology, such as the presence or absence of sexual dimorphism...
