I have now been able to establish what I feel to be the approximate range of two individuals. There is at least one more individual at Sungei Dusun, but its tracks are seen very infrequently. I have not yet seen any of these animals in the flesh despite considerable effort. All my data have been deduced from track measurements. For that reason I can confirm only three individuals at Sungei Dusun. Even though I have found tracks measuring at many intervals between 16 and 23 cm, the variability of track size even following the same animal makes the method of doubtful use in differentiating between animals of approximately the same size. Three animals is a very conservative estimate. I feel that five is probably more acvurate but using the present technique that is only a guess.
