Leopard cat
Prionailurus bengalensis (Leopard cat), In India the leopard cat is the most common small cat after the jungle cat from which it can be instantly told apart by its longer leaner appearance and long legs. The coat is brownish buff to ochre and the muzzle has some white in it. Two black streaks are present between the eyes and ears, and two white ones between the nose and eyes. At one glance it looks like a miniature leopard. Unlike leopards however this cat does not have rosettes on its buff coat. Instead it has solid black spots or patches throughout the body which merge into two broad streaks at the shoulders. Its limbs longer than those of other cats give it a graceful appearance. The tail is ringed and has a black tip. The feet are lean and shows webbing.
