It occurs in Bangladesh, Bhutan, China, India, Indonesia, Cambodia, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Singapore, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Viet Nam (Mukherjee et al. 2010). It is widely distributed throughout the country both in the countryside or homestead woodlands and in all kinds of natural forests and wetlands. At the current time a small population thrives in the countryside when the largest population is still present in the Sundarbans Mangrove Forest with diminishing numbers in other forests (Feeroz 2013, 2014, Feeroz et al. 2011, 2012, Husain 1974, Khan 2008, 2015).

It is nocturnal, solitary and shy. Usually Fishing Cat is found active at dawn and dusk. It is basically a fish eater but would kill any small animal that it can grab. Often these include poultry, ducks and geese, kids of goat and sheep when this cat lives near human settlements.

Assessment rationale/justification
This species is rare and restricted only to a few severely fragmented areas in the eastern Chittagong Hill Tracts in the southeast of Bangladesh. It used to occur in the forests of Rema-Kalenga Wildlife Sanctuary in the northeast until 2000. The quality and quantity of habitats are declining rapidly when prey species is diminishing at an alarming rate. It has been assumed that at least 50% of the population has been reduced over the last ten years. Therefore, it qualifies for Endangered category.

It is native to Bangladesh, Bhutan, Cambodia, China, India, Indonesia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Lao PDR, Malaysia, Mongolia, Myanmar, Nepal, Russian Federation, Tajikistan, Thailand and Viet Nam. Rare and restricted only to several isolated patches in eastern Chittagong Hill Tracts (Kassalong RF, Pablakhali WS, Rheinkheong RF and Sangu WS) in the southeast of Bangladesh. Previously it occurred (until the year 2000) in the forests of Rema-Kalenga WS in the northeast. It used to be common in forests of Geater Sylhet, Chittagong and Chittagong Hill Tracts Districts at least up to 1950s. Then, as the forest denudation followed by hunting of it and its prey and all major wildlife species of these mixed evergreen forest the species has virtually disappeared, barring a few very difficult to observe packs in the remotest parts of the Hill Tracts. A live specimen collected from the Hill Tracts was in display in Dhaka Zoo during 1970s (Ahmed 1982).

Dhole is found mostly in family packs of 2-30 individuals and unites in groups during day time but rarely at night. Prey animals include medium-sized ungulates such as deer, wild boar and wild goat, and occasionally domestic cattle. It sleeps inside a den. Mating takes place during September-February giving birth to 4-6 cubs at a time in the den after a gestation period of 60-65 days (Durbin et al. 2008). In Bangladesh, its prey animals mostly include Wild Boar, Barking Deer, Sambar, supplemented with smaller ground-dwelling vertebrates (M A Khan pers. comm.). Occurs in a wide variety of vegetation types, including primary, secondary and degraded forms of tropical dry and moist deciduous forest, evergreen and mixed evergreen forests, dry thorn forests, grassland, scrub, forest mosaics, and alpine steppe (above 3,000 m mean sea level). It has not been recorded from desert regions. In Bangladesh it is restricted to mixed evergreen forest.

Assessment rationale/justification
In the last few decades the range of Asian Small-clawed Otter has shrunk particularly in the western portion of its range in the country. Its habitats are severely fragmented and there is an ongoing decline in the extent and quality of its habitat, as well as the number of locations and subpopulations and number of mature individuals due to anthropogenic disturbances and habitat exploitation. It is suspected that the population size is below the threshold level of Endangered category. These factors qualify this species as Endangered.

It inhabits natural habitats of ponds and lakes, rivers and streams, coastal tide pools and estuaries, freshwater and mangrove swamps and also near human habitats, especially in rice fields (Khan 2008). This species lives in extended family groups of about 12 individuals with only the alpha pair breeding; offsprings from previous years help to raise the young. It is an excellent swimmer and performs swimming by moving hind legs and tail. It can dive under water for about eight minutes. In the riverine systems, it choose areas with low vegetation and its nesting burrows are dug into the muddy banks. This species spends most of its time on land unlike most other otters. It feeds mainly on invertebrates such as crustaceans and mollusks, but is also known to feed on vertebrates, in particular amphibians (Hussain 2008, Khan 2008).

The populations have declined rapidly due to hunting for meat and habitat loss. It is presumed that at least 50% of its Area of Occupancy and Extent of Occurrence and habitat quality have been severely degraded over the last 10 years. Thus, it has been categorized as Endangered.

It occurs mainly in mixed evergreen forests in the hills and mountains. It is most active at dawn and dusk and rests during most of the day in thick vegetation. Usually occurs as solitary but rarely in small groups. Serow feeds on grass, shoots and leaves. It defends the feeding range from intruder serows. It is able to move in steep rocky slopes. Mating takes place during October-November. A single young is born usually during September-October after a gestation period of 7-8 months (Duckworth et al. 2008).
