Jungle cat

Order : Carnivora
Family : Felidae
Subfamily : Felinae
Species : Felis chaus

The population of Jungle cats (Felis chaus) is significant in India (and adjacent nations), but is recognized by just a singular historical specimen from Vietnam or Cambodia. At Indochina, all the other small/medium cats are noted more often than the Jungle Cats. Habitat survival (read: adapting) in other areas would allow a better conservation status if man's hunting could be cut down considerably. Sadly, they are frequently killed by man, and maybe we could not blame them (the humans)...these cats have been known to kill livestock too.

The Jungle Cat is active during the day, and they have a shelter to take refuge in if a rest is needed. Breeding season for the Jungle Cat depends on the range actually. At the north parts, they mate during the winter da
ys, but if they are in the south areas, they could mate at any time within the year. When gestating is through (2 months), one to six kittens come out. When the newborn reaches 8 weeks old, they are weaned, and at about
6 months old, they could be segregated from the female parent. These cats are solitary by nature, and when resting, one would twist the forefeet and put them under its body.

Let us go to the Jungle Cat's food habits, they eat small mammals, hares, snakes, birds, frogs and lizards. Eating or not, they are often located near water, and the moist territories give them the best habitat cover of
grasslands and reeds. (These are useful to them in the way of camouflage.) It may fascinate you to know that present-day scientists think and hypothesize that domestic cats hold similar genetic links to this kind of cat, but that could not be proven yet beyond a shadow of a doubt.

In the mating season, a male would bark, in a dog-like fashion.
