Abstract:

An assessment of the status of wild canids, hyaenids and felids was undertaken in the Dana Nature Reserve between October 1994 and February 1995. The objectives of this study were to establish the presence and distribution of carnivores within the reserve and to assess the ecological status of these species. Seven species were found in the Nature Reserve. The confirmation of their presence is based on actual trapping (Vulpes vulpes, V. cana, Felis silvestris and Caracal caracal), finding skulls and remains (H. hyaena and Canis lupus pallipes), or reliably confirmed by surveying for foot prints and other signs (V. rueppelli).
