Its name is fishing cat – Felis viverrina – and it lives in Asia, from India, including Ceylon to the islands of Sumatra and Java. It inhabits areas with a lot of vegetation near the water, such as mangroves and the banks of rivers. There this feline dips its head into the water and looks for its food. Their diet is based on small mammals, birds, crustaceans, and insects. To carry out fishing, this Asian wild cat has slightly webbed feet.
The Felis viverrina reaches about 85 cm, plus the tail, about 33. It weighs between 8 and 14 kilos and is a good swimmer.
