Fishing cats are medium-sized wild cats native to South and Southeast Asia. They have a distinctive appearance with olive-gray fur covered in black spots and stripes, long legs, and webbed feet. As their name suggests, fishing cats are skilled hunters in water, catching fish, frogs, and other aquatic prey. They are primarily nocturnal and solitary animals, preferring to live in wetland habitats such as marshes, mangroves, and swamps. Fishing cats are listed as vulnerable due to habitat loss and poaching for their fur and body parts.
