I know, the Mom's nose is missing the tip, but I just wanted you al lto see the differences between juvenile and adult
I hope you like it still
Species: Jungle Cat (Moeras of Rietkat)
Latin name: Felis Chaus
Originates from southern China in the east, through Southeast and Central Asia, to th Nile Valley in the west.
Current status: Least Concern
Did you know:
…At times, the Jungle Cat is also called Jungle Lynx (Moeraslynx) due to the small tufts of the ears. However it is not a member of the Lynx genus.
…The Jungle Cat is the largest of the living Felis species.
… Their clauws are equal-sized on both fore and hind legs, which makes climbing down trees as easily as up.
…Though never domesticated, a small number of Jungle Cats have been found among the cat mummies of Ancient Egypt, suggesting that they may have been used to control rodent populations.
