Notes
Panthera pardus melas was recognized on the basis of molecular markers by Miththapala et al. (1996) and Uphyrkina et al. (2001). The Javan Leopard was highly distinctive from mainland Asian forms which may indicate that it has been separate for hundreds of thousands of years. Meijaard (2004) hypothesized that leopards migrated from South Asia to Java during the Middle Pleistocene along a land bridge that bypassed Sumatra and Borneo.[1].
