Numbers of native, non-volant Australian terrestrial mammal species (n = 246) categorised as susceptible to predation by the domestic cat 1 and savannah cat 2 (shown as numbers in parentheses as changes from values for the domestic cat), cross-tabulated with their IUCN conservation status.

1 Data extracted from Table S1a in Supplementary Material of Radford et al. [53], 2 data modified by application of the assessment criteria for savannah cats as described in the text, 3 neither the ‘extreme’ category of susceptibility to predation nor the IUCN category ‘Extinct’ were scored for savannah cats.
