Description

When: May 22, 2021

Where: Faunapark Flakkee Nieuwe-Tonge, the Netherlands

There's a small dip in the enclosure, which is very good for hiding for the kittens - especially since the grass is quite high (no mowing is done in any zoo when there are babies ).

It made it very tricky for the camera to focus on the baby.... But glad we got this natural shot

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 claws 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.
