“…Black servals have been widely recorded (Shortridge 1934, York 1973, Guggisberg 1975. The holotype of L. sewal was taken near the Cape of Good Hope, but the serval now appears to have been extirpated from the entire southern coastal belt of South Africa and most of Cape province (Skead 1980, Stuart 1985)-although M. Bowland (in litt. 1993) notes an unconfirmed report from a farmer at George, midway between Cape Town and Port Elizabeth.…”

“…1993) considers the leopard to be more rare than the lion in the Savannah regions, while severely reduced abundance was also reported from the west African rain forest zone (Martin and de Meulenaer 1988). Also, in South Africa, the leopard has been extirpated from many areas (Stuart et al 1985, Norton 1986, Rowe-Rowe 1992 Norton and Henley 1987). Long-term observations of individual female leopards have yielded larger estimates of home range size in protected areas: 23-33 km2 (Le Roux and Skinner 1989) and 37-38 km2 (Cavallo 1993).…”

“…In some parts of Africa, similar negative attitudes towards carnivores have been reported (Lindsey et al, 2005;Kaltenborn et al, 2006;Holmern et al, 2007b). Livestock keepers in Africa have been reported to kill and poison carnivores to reduce the perceived conflict over livestock depredation (Stuart et al, 1985;Berry, 1990;Holekamp & Smale, 1992).…”
