April 30, 1959 acc 9659 (1) Poultry Farm, Strawberry Canyon, Berkeley Alameda Co., Calif. skin+skel. 13442 ♂ Felis pardalis 890-362-113-53 wt. 8¼ lb. ↑ minus nail. Taken in chicken pen at Poultry Farm on April 21, 1959, by Nobuo Onoye. The night before, Ap 21, this animal killed 15 adult White Leghorn chickens at the poultry farm. I set 4 small steel traps & hung dead hens over the traps. Was under impression this was work of a weasel as all own birds were bitten in back of head or on throat and none eaten. We found out later it had escaped a week previously from near Marin + Edcalid aves, Berkeley. All toe nails had been removed and foot didn't show a bit of evidence as to how this was done. The animal returned a second night and the superintendent Mr. Onoye found it eating on a dead chicken - it was not in trap. He killed it with a 22 rifle.
