 The Jungle Cat has long legs and a slender build. It's coat is
generally a sandy brown, reddish or gray, and has no pattern
except for stripes on the legs and sometimes on the throat.
Exceptions to this are the Melanistic (black) and the Silvertip that
is basically a black animal with silver tipping on the fur. They have
black ear tufts and a relatively short 3/4 length tail generally
reaching to the hocks. The name "Jungle Cat" is actually a
misnomer as Jungle Cats are found mainly along river bottoms,
reed beds and some forests. In the wild they feed primarily on
rodents. They will also take hares, birds, reptiles and amphibians.
They are strong swimmers and will dive to catch fish.
