偶遇豹貓

這是香港僅存貓科野生動物「豹貓」Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis)。留意耳後的白班。夜間生物常被大眾忽略，亦由於觀察的困難，往往在調查工作之中無可避免地被遺漏。要評估一個地區的生態價值，需要更長時間及更全面的進行日與夜的調查，也反映出現時香港關於自然生態的環評工作有許多需要改善的地方。Although the Leopard Cat is widely distributed in China and South East Asia, it is threatened by habitat loss and hunting in parts of its range. The Leopard Cat is protected in Hong Kong under Cap. 170 (Wild Animals Protection Ordinance), and is Class II protected animal in mainland China.
