Survey of Small Mammals in Bukit Taat, Tasik Kenyir, Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia.
Abstract
A survey on small mammals was conducted at Bukit Taat, Tasik Kenyir from 2nd to 5th September 2014. Thissurvey aimed to document the species diversity of small mammals in Bukit Taat. A total of eight mist nets, two
four-bank harp traps and 50 cage traps baited with banana slices were used. A total of 36 individuals comprising
14 species of chiropteran but none of non-volant small mammals were recorded. Hipposideros larvatus (36.1%
of total individuals) were recorded as the most captured species followed by H. diadema (19.4% of total
individuals) and Penthetor lucasi (8.3% of total individuals). This survey formed the first list of chiropterans
recorded at Bukit Taat, Tasik Kenyir, Hulu Terengganu, Malaysia.
