The Iriomote cat (Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis) is a subspecies of the leopard cat living exclusively on the Japanese island of Iriomote. It has been listed as critically endangered on the IUCN Red List since 2008, as the only population comprises fewer than 250 adult individuals and is considered declining. As of 2007, there are an estimated 100–109 individuals remaining.
In Japanese, it is called Iriomote-yamaneko (西表山猫?, "Iriomote mountain cat") . In local dialects of the Yaeyama language, it is known as yamamayaa (ヤママヤー?, "the cat in the mountain") , yamapikaryaa (ヤマピカリャー?, "that which shines on the mountain") , and meepisukaryaa (メーピスカリャー?, "that which has flashing eyes") .
The fur of the Iriomote cat is mostly dark gray and light brown, with lighter hair on the belly and insides of the limbs. Hair along the jaw is white. There are two dark brown spots on each cheek. There are 5–7 stripes spanning from the forehead to the back of the head, but, unlike the leopard cat, the stripes stop before reaching the shoulders. Dark brown spots cover the sides of the body, and there are 3–4 bands of irregular stripes on the chest. The tail is dark brown; darker spots pattern the back side of the tail while the underside of the tail is solid. The tip of the tail is dark.

It was next to the road..and it was just a coincidence!! One of the most endangered wild cat species on Earth!! Around 100 individuals are thought to exist on the 284 km2 Iriomote Island. Me and my mates observed it capturing one of its favorite prey items: frogs!! Sometimes it is attracted to the road because of prey. Other times it increases its movement (even along the road) because it is in search of females (males are more frequently hit by cars than females) or of a home range. This individual seemed to be a dispersing young male due to its small size and the period of the year. Unfortunately, every year, Iriomote cats are victims to roadkills (this year with a record of deaths!!) so if you happen to be on Iriomote Island please drive slowly! Car accidents as well as habitat de...
Please help the Iriomote cat!! Please call the Ministry of the Environment or send them an email (Tel.:03-3581-3351 https://www.env.go.jp/en/moemail/ ) requesting them to buy this land so the Iriomote cat can continue to exist here. The habitat of the Iriomote cat is in danger of being annihilated on Iriomote Island which only has around 284 km2.The Iriomote cat has nowhere else to go and its population is of only 100 individuals. Please also send this message to land trust organizations or NPOs (e.g. http://www.jtef.jp/english/contactus.html )!! They could also help purchase the land. Also, if you happen to be on Iriomote Island or planning to go soon, please stop by the Haemida (南風見田) area (where this footage was taken). The deforested area is found next to the pa...

イリオモテヤマネコの交通事故防止啓発動画 イリオモテヤマネコは、現在西表島に100頭前後生息していると推定されている野生のネコです。日本では特別天然記念物に指定され、絶滅危惧IA類(環境省レッドリスト:現存種の中でもっとも絶滅の恐れが高い)なっています。 そんな状況の中、交通事故により毎年平均して2~3頭のイリオモテヤマネコが犠牲となっています。2013年に至っては10月末時点ですでに6件の交通事故が発生し、5頭の死亡が確認されています(1頭は怪我したまま山へ逃げる)。 今年になって西表島が変わったことは・・・観光客の増加です。2013年3月に新石垣空港が開港し、この夏以降顕著な観光客増加が起こり、西表島は昼夜を問わずレンタカーがウロウロしています。 去年までは、西表島の夜の道を走る車はほとんどいない環境でした(島の生活はそれで自然とのバランスがある程度とれていました。)が、今年は夜間のレンタカーの走行が目立ちます。"やまねこ探し"か何なのかわかりませんが、レベルの低い観光は一刻も早くやめてください。 夜はレンタカーで外出しない!昼間も車の運転は法定速度以下厳守! 様々な意見があるとは思いますが、西表島の住人として、またネイチャーガイドとして、そしてかつて生物学者を志した人間として、今何も声をあげないのはヤマネコを車でひき逃げするのと同じ罪だと思い、保護活動に力を注いでいく決意です。 西表島ベース 所長 兼 俺の西表、山だ屋 代表 YAMADA KEIZO http://orenoirimote.com

Best Documentary On Japan Wild Secrets Must See ! The wildlife of Japan includes its flora, fauna and natural habitats. The islands of Japan stretch a long distance from north to south and cover a wide range of climatic zones. This results in a high diversity of wildlife despite Japan's isolation from the mainland of Asia. In the north of the country, there are many subarctic species which have colonized Japan from the north. In the south there are south-east Asian species, typical of tropical regions. Between these areas lies the temperate zone which shares many species with China and Korea. Japan also has many endemic species that are found nowhere else. About 130 species of land mammal occur in Japan. The largest of these are the two bears. The Ussuri brown bear (Ursus arctos) is foun...

The Last Lynx Documentary - #HistoryMovies A lynx is any of the 4 species within the Lynx category of medium-sized wild felines. The name "lynx" originated in Middle English via Latin from the Greek word "λύγξ", [2] stemmed from the Indo-European root "leuk-", indicating "light, illumination", [4] in reference to the luminescence of its reflective eyes. [4] Neither the caracal, occasionally called the desert lynx, neither the jungle feline, called the jungle lynx, belongs to the Lynx genus. Lynx have a brief tail, particular tufts of black hair on the tips of their ears, huge, cushioned paws for strolling on snow as well as lengthy whiskers on the face. Under their neck, they have a ruff which has black bars appearing like a bow connection although this is typically not noticeable. Phys...
