COMMENT—Prionalurus is now recognized as a genus, rather than a subgenus of Felis (Wozencraft, 1993). Populations from the Palawan Faunal Region are being described as distinct subspecies (Groves, pers. comm.). see: http://www.fieldmuseum.org/Philippine_Mammals/Prionailurus_bengalensis.htm

[edit] Caps?
Why is there a capital letter on "cat"? That doesn't make sense for an animal. --Crazysunshine 07:47, 7 May 2006 (UTC)
Because it is part of the animal's name. The Asian Leopard is an entirely different (and much larger) feline than the Asian Leopard Cat.
Oh, wait, so then "Leopard cat" could be interpreted as a normal leopard rather than the leopard cat? --Crazysunshine 21:54, 28 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Pictures?
Would be nice. -Iopq 02:30, 15 May 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Iriomote - Leopard cat or not?
Some sources seem to indicate that the classification of the Iriomote as a subspecies of Leopard Cat is disputed. I'm not so sure about this, but could someone clarify on that? The argument has to do with the species having been isolated from other species for millennia. 219.95.14.83 15:20, 7 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Diet
I removed musk deer and muntjac from the ALC's diet, because both of these animals are 3 to 10 times the size of the ALC, and thus ALC predation seems unlikely, if not impossible. The diet section isn't sourced anyway, but if attribution that the ALC kills these animals can be found, by all means restore. Seduisant (talk) 20:16, 12 March 2008 (UTC)
