Dear all,
I am currently working on a study regarding the distribution of the leopard (Panthera pardus) in Africa and I would like to ask you if you have got any information on its occurrence in protected areas especially in Ghana or other parts of West Africa?
Thank you for your support,
Peter
Gillian Whittaker sent me this photo she took on Mt Emei Shan in Sichuan and wondered what species this is. It was quite large – with a HB 25cm or more (so definitely too large to me M. nivalis)
I have never seen Siberian, Mountain or Yellow-bellied Weasels but it doesn’t look much like the pictures I have seen of Siberian Weasels and lacks the black mask. Gillian said it had quite a bit of white under the neck and venter.
Does anyone know what it is?

Ian Adam just sent me this site covering all the bats of China with some good pictures and other information.
Its a useful resource
I just got back from a few days in the north west USA. In Idaho I saw – thanks to Matt Miller – an American Badger. In Washington State I saw a Northern Flying Squirrel.
The Idaho report is here
