Abstract

In Southeast Asia the population range of the Leopard (Panthera pardus) is rapidly shrinking. In Peninsular Malaysia temporal activity patterns of leopards are poorly known in its largest protected area “ Taman Negara National Park. Our study obtained 1 263 photos of leopards from 235 camera trap stations over 31 333 trap nights covering the Kelantan Pahang and Terengganu portions of Taman Negara National Park. Our results show that leopard activity peaks around 0600-0659 hours (dawn) and 1700-1759 hours (dusk). This study represents a fresh attempt to document the crepuscular nature of leopards in Taman Negara National Park.
