TABLE 2.
Diet composition expressed as percentage of ingested biomass (Bio), percentage of scat volume (Vol), and frequency of occurrence (Occ) of jungle cats (Felis chaus) and leopard cats (Prionailurus bengalensis) in Srepok Wildlife Sanctuary, Cambodia, 2013–2016 (n = number of scats analyzed). Seasonal and total results are given for leopard cats. Dietary niche breadth (B) is given based on biomass consumed
