宜蘭的石虎（Prionailurus bengalensis）再發現紀錄
Note on the Rediscovery of Leopard Cat (Prionailurus bengalensis) in Yilan
摘要
石虎（Prionailurus bengalensis）為台灣僅存的野生貓科動物，雖在過去文獻均提及其廣泛分佈於全台灣海拔1,500公尺以下山區、丘陵及農耕地帶周邊環境，然而，根據近30年來的相關調查報告，一致顯示，現有族群集中分佈於台灣中央山脈西側，苗栗以南延伸到台中、彰化、南投、雲林、嘉義及台南等地。本報告將針對近期一例，於國立宜蘭大學大礁溪延文實驗林場所進行的哺乳動物自動相機調查過程中，記錄到的石虎進行說明。

The leopard cat, Prionailurus bengalensis, is the only remaining wild felid species native to Taiwan. Historically, it inhabited various habitats across the main island, including mountains, lowland hills, and adjacent farmlands, generally below elevations of 1,500 meters. However, recent studies have reported that the current populations of P. bengalensis are restricted to the western side of the Central Mountain Range, spanning from Miaoli southward to Taichung, Changhua, Nantou, Yunlin, Chiayi, and Tainan over the past three decades. This report provides insights into a recent occurrence of the leopard cat, P. bengalensis, documented during a mammal camera-trapping survey conducted at the Yenwen Experimental Forest in Dajioushi, National Ilan University.
