Abstract

The Tsushima wildcat (Felis bengalensis euptilura) is a nationally designated protected species. During the period between September 1996 and January 1999, the corpses of 10 of these animals were taken to the Wildlife Conservation Center of the Environmental Agency of Japan, on Tsushima Island, Nagasaki Prefecture. Seven of the wildcats were killed in traffic accident; 2 died of bite wounds and 1 of an unspecified cause. A dog is presumed to have bitten one of the wildcats. The case of the bite wound in the other is unknown. The wildcat that died of unspecified cases displayed no wound, though many parasites were found in its gastrointestinal tract.
