Fishing Cat

Stocky, spotted and fond of water, the fishing cat skulks through South Asia’s mangroves and marshes. Webbed paws let it scoop fish or dive after frogs, while reeds hide it from herons and dogs. Shrinking wetlands and pollution now corner this wet-footed hunter.

Habitat: The Fishing Cat can be found in Bangladesh, Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri-lanka, Thailand
