Luthfi Aditya Ardhana, 20200710056. Potensi Mamalia Besar Sebagai Mangsa Macan Tutul Jawa
di Petak 74A Gunung Tilu RPH Cimara BKPH Cibingbin KPH Kuningan di bawah bimbingan Dr.
Toto Supartono, S.Hut., M.Si dan Nurdin, S.Hut., M.Si
Dalam tatanan ekosistem hutan di Pulau Jawa, macan tutul merupakan puncak rantai makanan
yang mengendalikan populasi satwa terutama mamalia besar yang menjadi mangsanya seperti babi
hutan, lutung, surili, monyet ekor panjang dan kijang. Apabila macan tutul punah, maka rantai
makanan akan terputus sehingga dapat mengakibatkan kelebihan populasi hewan yang menjadi
mangsa macan tutul. Penelitian ini dilakukan untuk mengetahui keanekaragaman jenis dan kepadatan
setiap jenis mamalia besar sebagai pakan macan tutul jawa di kawasan Gunung Tilu, petak 74A, RPH
Cimara, BKPH Cibingbin, KPH Kuningan. Teknik pengambilan data dilakukan dengan
menggunakan metode line transect mengikuti jalur atau jalan setapak yang dibuat oleh masyarakat.
Berdasarkan hasil pengamatan langsung di kawasan petak 74A, Gunung Tilu, RPH Cimara, BKPH
Cibingbin, KPH Kuningan. Peneliti berhasil mencatat sebanyak 7 jenis satwa yang tergolong mamalia
besar sebagai mangsa macan tutul jawa. Diantaranya berdasarkan pengamatan langsung melalui
perjumpaan yaitu Lutung Jawa (Trachypitecus auratus), Surili (Presbytis comata), Giralang (Ratufa
bicolar), Binturong (Arctictis binturong), Kijang (Mutiacus muntjak) sedangkan jenis-jenis mamalia
yang pengamatannya melalui tanda-tanda keberadaan yang berhasil didokumentasikan yaitu Babi
Hutan (Sus scrofa), Landak Jawa (Hystrix javanica).

Luthfi Aditya Ardhana, 20200710056. The Potential of Large Mammals as Prey for Javan Leopards
in the Plot 74A of Gunung Tilu RPH Cimara BKPH Cibingbin KPH Kuningan under the guidance of
Dr. Toto Supartono, S.Hut., M.Si and Nurdin, S.Hut., M.Si
In the forest ecosystem order on the island of Java, leopards are the top of the food chain that
controls animal populations, especially large mammals that are prey such as wild boars, langurs,
surili, long-tailed monkeys, and antelopes. If the leopard becomes extinct, the food chain will be cut
off which can result in an overpopulation of animals that are prey to the leopard. This study was
conducted to identify the species diversity and density of each type of large mammal as food for the
Javan leopard in the area of Mount Tilu, plot 74A, RPH Cimara, BKPH Cibingbin, KPH Kuningan.
The data collection technique is carried out by using the line transect method following the path or
path made by the community. Based on the results of direct observation in the area of plot 74A, Mount
Tilu, RPH Cimara, BKPH Cibingbin, KPH Kuningan. Researchers managed to record as many as 7
types of animals classified as large mammals as prey for the Javan leopard. Among them are based
on direct observation through encounters, namely Javan Lutung (Trachypitecus auratus), Surili
(Presbytis comata), giralang (Ratufa bicolar), Binturong (Arctictis binturong), Kijang (Mutiacus
muntjak) while the types of mammals with observations through signs of presence that have been
successfully documented are Wild Boar (Sus scrofa), Javanese Porcupine (Hystrix javanica).
