The forests of Asia contain more wild cat species than any other continent, with eleven small wild cat species or subspecies calling these disappearing habitats home. We have included the Asiatic Wildcat even though it is now listed as a subspecies of the wide ranging Wildcat Felis lybica.

We had to split the continent into two so the snow leopard and other cats you’re missing are on the Eurasian cats page. Asian cats are tropical species.

Hi, For Asia, you are missing Snow Leopard (listed under Big Cats) and Eurasian lynx (small cats)

We don’t have a ‘big cats of Asia’ section. The Tiger has his own fact sheet at https://wildcatconservation.org/wild-cats/asia/tiger/ and is also shown on the Asian wild cats page https://wildcatconservation.org/wild-cats/asia/tiger/

Hi, there are small wild cats in the middle east especially in Iran too. Sand cat, Pallas’s cat, Caracal, euroasian lynx and jungle cat. All of these small wild cats in Iran are poorly known and there are no active and continues research on these cats, I want to study on sand cats in Iran, will you provide any founds for proposal from this region?
