  • Fishing cats are well adapted to water; with wet suit-like fur coats and webbed feet, they are masters of aquatics. This means fish are on the menu, but these kittens might need a bit more practice before fending for themselves.

    The babies are sooo adorable! Our team got on camera other adorable big cats, baby snow leopards! Snow leopards are rarely caught on camera because it isn’t easy to film at an altitude of 5,000m, but our camera crew in the Himalayas did just that. Their footage of a snow leopard mom and her two cubs gives unique insights into these mysterious animals’ lives.

How fascinating is the fact that there are people involved who are putting efforts in putting cameras and themselves with huge lenses in the conditions, only to capture movie like moments in such a high quality. Then, the editors also putting efforts to compile into such beautiful journeys and stories.

    Fishing Cats are awesome. They're basically only found in Sri Lanka and the greater Indian subcontinent, southern tropical regions. Very endangered by habit loss from massive urban sprawl and human population density where they naturally reside. They also used to be killed by local fisherman out of frustration they were eating the fish and tall tales about attacking people. Some non-profit organizations go into small towns and villages adjacent to wetlands and forests to educate the locals on preservation, coexistence and that they pose no danger to humans. If I recall correctly they were recently protected in Sri Lanka as well. It would be a terrible shame to lose such a unique and relatively unknown animal.

    I thought it was just a title. There really is a cat named fishing cat. Here is a paragraph from Wikipedia article:
    The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a medium-sized wild cat of South and Southeast Asia. Since 2016, it is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List. Fishing cat populations are threatened by destruction of wetlands and have declined severely over the last decade. The fishing cat lives foremost in the vicinity of wetlands, along rivers, streams, oxbow lakes, in swamps, and mangroves.
    The fishing cat is the state animal of West Bengal.
