Regions

14.  Markhor is adapted to mountainous terrain
with steep cliffs woodlands, scrublands and
light forests.
 Present between 600 and 3,600 m elevation.
 Markhor are diurnal, but most active in the
early morning and late afternoon.
 They alternate seasonally between grazing
(summer) and browsing (winter), eating
grasses and leaves.
 Females gestate for 135-170 days and give
birth typically to 1-2 kids.
 The animals are sexually mature at 18-30
months, and live up to 12-13 years.
Habitat Markhor (Capra falconeri)

15.  Wildcats are found in a wide variety of
habitats, from deserts and scrub grassland
to dry and mixed forest; absent only from
rainforest and coniferous forest.
 Areas of intensive cultivation and
urbanisation are avoided.
 Asian Wildcats range up to 2,000 - 3,000
m in mountainous areas with sufficient
vegetation
 Rodents and lagomorphs are the staple of
the Wildcat's diet across its range, with
birds of secondary importance.
Habitat Wildcat (Felis silvestris)

16.  It is found in successional or forest-edge
habitats, in scrub, alpine meadows, marshes,
riparian woodlands, hedgerows.
 Dense forests and deserts are avoided (King
1983).
 It is a specialist predator of small mammals,
but will occasionally feed on fruit,
earthworms, insects, eggs, and birds (King
1983).
 Its local distribution is typically related to that
of small rodents and lagomorphs (King 1983,
Pulliainen 1999).
 It is active day and night (King 1983).
 Home range size range from 4 to 200 ha for
males, most often falling between 10 and 40
ha (King 1983).
Habitat Stoat (Mustela erminea)

17.  Ranges in all northern habitats where there is
suitable food (Mech 1970),
 Densities being highest where prey biomass is
highest (Fuller 1989).
 Food is extremely variable, but the majority
comprises large ungulates (moose, caribou,
deer, elk, wild boar, etc.).
 Wolves will also eat smaller prey items,
livestock, carrion, and garbage.
Habitat Grey wolf (Canis lupus)

18.  It can be found in short grasslands, barren
agricultural fields, crop fields, and forest roads.
 Its diet consists primarily of grasses (Schai-Braun
and Hackländer 2016, Molur and Nameer 2018).
 It breeds throughout the year, but the peak
breeding season is during the monsoon season
(Flux and Angermann 1990).
 Litter size is one to four, but can be higher
(Gurung and Singh 1996).
 Forbs and grasses constitute the bulk of their diet
(Flux and Angermann 1990).
 The Indian Hare is characterized as a shy species
(Gurung and Singh 1996).
 It exhibits activity during crepuscular and
nocturnal hours (Chakraborty 2005).
Habitat Indian Hare (Lepus nigricollis)

19.  In general this species is
found in montane coniferous
forest.
 It is believed to have a
generation time of
approximately 4-5 years.
 It has up to two litters
annually of 2-4 young
(Nowak 1999).
 It lives at elevations between
1800 and 3600m (Wilson and
Reeder, 1993).
Habitat Kashmir flying Squirrel(Eoglaucomys fimbriatus)

20.  It is a partially diurnal,terrestrial, semi-
arboreal and herbivorous species.
 It is found in tropical dry deciduous,
dry wood, shrub, tropical thorn forests
and grassy clumps.
 Also found near granite hills with
sandy loam and silty soil. In Pakistan,
this species is found in low country,
dry zone and mountain wet zone, low
country semi evergreen forests.
 This can be a serious agricultural pest
species (Corbet and Hill 1992).
Habitat Indian bush Rat(Golunda ellioti)
