The flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) is a small wild cat with short reddish-brown fur. Its head is elongated, and its ears are rounded. Its slender body is 41 to 50 cm (16 to 20 in) long with a tail of 13 to 15 cm (5.1 to 5.9 in), and it weighs 1.5 to 2.5 kg (3.3 to 5.5 lb).
Among felids, the jaguarundi is closely similar to the flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps), but has a longer body and proportionately longer legs, is heavier and lacks the dark markings on the cheeks of the flat-headed cat. [10] Tawny jaguarundis bear a similar coloration to the larger cougar. [35]

It is famous for its tiger population, but eight other species of wild cats also roam, such as the clouded leopard, the bay cat, and the flat-headed cat. Rare photos give a glimpse into the lives ...
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 .
Blue is the range of Felinae (excluding the domestic cat), green is the range of Pantherinae. Felidae is a family of mammals in the order Carnivora, colloquially referred to as cats.

Both models agree in the rusty-spotted cat having been the first cat of this lineage that diverged, followed by the flat-headed cat (P. planiceps) and the fishing cat (P. viverrinus). [7] [9] The following cladogram shows the phylogenetic relationships of the rusty-spotted cat as derived through analysis of nuclear DNA: [7] [8]
