Habitat details as listed in assessment
It is found in all forests in the country as well as homestead vegetations, bamboo thickets and old graveyard. Also found in sub-urban areas. This species is primarily nocturnal and terrestrial but sometimes active during day. It usually spends daytime in burrows, tree holes and thickets. Also it likes to hide in disused buildings and ruins. This civet is omnivorous; feeds on small mammals, birds, reptiles, frogs, insects, fruits and some vegetable matter (Khan 1985, 1987, 2009). Small Indian Civet marks its territory with the characteristic scent secreted from the civet gland. No marked breeding season; young seen throughout the year.

Assessment rationale/justification
Though this species is widely distributed in a diverse habitat throughout Bangladesh but the population has been declining due to different anthropogenic factors. Hunting, poaching and retribution killing of this species for attacking poultry and pigeon coop is also evident. Its countryside habitat is being continuously destroyed. This species does not fulfill any of the criteria for threatened categories. Therefore, this species has been categorized as Near Threatened based on its threats.

Assessment rationale/justification
This species does not qualify for any threatened category due to its wide distribution and unavailability of the information on its population size. The population is declining due to continual habitat destruction, hunting and conflict with human (Khan 2005, Rawshan et al. 2012). So, Leopard Cat is evaluated as Near Threatened.

Assessment rationale/justification
This species is only found in and around mixed evergreen forests of northeast and southeast of the country. This species does not fulfill any criteria of threatened categories, however, Area of Occupancy is less than 10,000 km2 and the population is reducing due to the gradual destruction of the habitat. Thus, it has been categorized as Near Threatened.

This species does not fulfill any of the criteria to qualify threatened categories due to its wide range and presumably large population size. But due to continual habitat destruction, poaching and human-cat conflict (Rawshan et al. 2012) the population trend is now decreasing. Thus, this species has been evaluated as Near Threatened.
