Further lion, Panthera leo senegalensis Meyer, 1826, sightings in Mole National Park, Ghana, and possible first serval Leptailurus serval Schreber, 1776 record after 39 years (Mammalia Felidae)

摘要

In this note we report on two recent sightings of lion, Panthera leo senegalensis Meyer, 1826 (Mammalia Felidae), one of which made by the authors, in Mole National Park (Ghana) dur- ing our last field research in April, 2015. We also obtained a camera trap picture of a probable serval individual, Leptailurus serval Schreber, 1776 (Mammalia Felidae), a species not re- corded in the Park since 1976. Our conclusions indicate how the cat status in Mole National Park is very little known.
