The methodology used included the camera trapping, with 1,349camera-trap nights, day transects (242km) and night transects (344km), looking for direct as well as indirect evidences. The camera trap studies show that the 90% of the small carnivores captured in the camera traps belonged to three species of viverrids such as the Small Indian Civet (31.7%), Common Palm Civet (30%) and Brown Palm Civet (28.3%). The other small carnivores accounted for only 10% which includes, Stripe-necked Mongoose (3.3%), Smooth-coated Otter (1.7%), Nilgiri Marten (1.7%), Ruddy Mongoose (1.7%) and Leopard Cat (1.7%).

The night spot-light survey transect of 344km on vehicle resulted in 36 sightings of recorded five species of small carnivores including Jungle Cat, Leopard Cat, Common Palm Civet, Brown Palm Civet and Small Indian Civet with an encounter rate of 1.06 animals/hr. A total of 88 incidence of indirect evidences of small carnivores were recorded from 242km transect walk. Abundance of small carnivores (scats/kilometer), with the civets (0.24) having the maximum abundance followed by mongoose (0.05), otters (0.04) and small cats (0.02) at the PKTR.
