The fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus) is a medium-sized wild cat of South and Southeast Asia.It has a deep yellowish-grey fur with black lines and spots. Adults have a head-to-body length of 57 to 78 cm (22 to 31 in), with a 20 to 30 cm (8 to 12 in) long tail.
Both models agree in the rusty-spotted cat having been the first cat of the Prionailurus lineage that genetically diverged, followed by the flat-headed cat and then the fishing cat. [ 3 ] [ 16 ] It is estimated to have diverged together with the leopard cat between 4.31 to 1.74 million years ago [ 3 ] and 4.25 to 0.02 million years ago .
Fishing cats are primarily nocturnal, and female cats give birth to litter of two or three kits at a time. The Future of the Fisher Cat. Fishing cats were part of a species survival plan breeding ...
The Province of Sindh. The Pakistani province of Sindh has been home to multiple species of felid.These include the domestic cat (both house cats and ferals), of the species Felis catus; medium-sized wild cats from the genus Felis, such as the jungle cat (Felis chaus); and big cats from the genus Panthera, such as leopards (Panthera pardus).
Fishing cats — an endangered species of wild feline — have long been a mystery to researchers, who know little about their survival tactics.
The fishing cat and the leopard cat are members of the same genus, hence had a common ancestor. Estimation of genetic divergence time from this last common ancestor was performed by two different author teams and derived from two different sets of genetic material + analysis.
