Book

Guggisberg, C. A. W. “Asiatic Steppe Wildcat, Desert Cat.” ​Wild Cats of the World​, by C. A. W.

Guggisberg, David & Charles, 1975, pp. 35–36.

This book was written by Charles Albert Walter (C.A.W.) Guggisberg and contains information

about different wildcats around the world. The section about asiatic wildcats provides

information about what was known about them at the time of the books publishing. It also

provides information about related subspecies.

This source has a lot of the same type of information as some of my other sources, but since my

topic is so specific and due to the number of sources we’re required to find, I’ll take what I can

get. I can use this source to show how much we’ve learned about asiatic wildcats compared to

what we used to know.

Book

“African-Asian Wildcat.” ​Wild Cats of the World,​ by Mel Sunquist and Fiona Sunquist, University

of Chicago Press, 2017, pp. 92–98.

This book was written by Mel and Fiona Sunquist and contains information about different

wildcats around the world, with pictures. The section with information about asiatic wildcats

gives information about their description and behaviors. It also provides tables of data about

wildcat measurements and weights in different areas and about the frequency of different types

of prey in different areas.

This source has a lot of the same type of information as some of my other sources, but since my

topic is so specific and due to the number of sources we’re required to find, I’ll take what I can

get. I can use the tables provided in this source to give some real specific data about asiatic

wildcats to give examples.

www.wildcatfamily.com/felis-lineage/african-wildcat-and-asiatic-wildcat-felis-lybica/.

This website was created by a woman named Mandy who has studied wild cats and who wants

to make this type of information easily available to students looking for academic information.
This website provides information on the species’s classification and different subspecies. It

also gives information on conservation and research of the species.

This source has a lot of the same type of information as some of my other sources, but since my

topic is so specific and due to the number of sources we’re required to find, I’ll take what I can

get. This source gives more information about the species classification than other sources so I

think I can use that.

International Society for Endangered Cats, Canada ISEC. “Asiatic Wildcat.”

Wildcatconservation.org​, 2017, wildcatconservation.org/wild-cats/wildcat/asiatic-wildcat/.

This website is made by the International Society for Endangered Cats (ISEC) in Canada. This

website gives information on asiatic wildcat distribution, ecology, and conservation. This site

gives a decent description of asiatic wildcat poaching.

This source has a lot of the same type of information as some of my other sources, but since my

topic is so specific and due to the number of sources we’re required to find, I’ll take what I can

get. The most unique thing about this source is that it focuses more on conservation than most

of my other sources.

Nag, Oishimaya Sen. “The Ten Species Of Small Wild Cats Found In Asia.” ​WorldAtlas,​ 7 Dec.

2017, www.worldatlas.com/articles/the-ten-species-of-small-wild-cats-found-in-asia.html.

This website article was written by Oishimaya Sen Nag and published on worldatlas.com in

2017. This article talks about ten different small wildcats that live in Asia, including the asiatic

wildcat. One interesting fact this article gives about asiatic wildcats is that they are known to kill

poisonous snakes.

The asiatic wildcat section of this source has a lot of the same type of information as some of

my other sources, but since my topic is so specific and due to the number of sources we’re

required to find, I’ll take what I can get. The best way I can think of to use this source is using it

to help me compare asiatic wildcats to other small Asian wildcats.
