Did you know?

The Jungle Cat is also called the Reed Cat, Swamp Cat, and Jungle Lynx. It is a medium-sized cat native to the Middle East, the Caucasus, South and Southeast Asia, and southern China. The jungle cat has uniformly sandy, reddish-brown or grey fur without spots. Because of its long legs, short tail, and tuft on the ears, the Jungle Cat resembles a small lynx.
