What is a marbled cat?

marbled cat, or pardofelis marmorata , is a type of cat jungle originating from the forests of indo-Chinese, Indonesia and Southeast Asia. These cats are generally considered rare, although they are very elusive in the wild, so biologists admit that they could be more common than they believe. The marbled cat is considered one of the smaller wild cats, because it is usually only 18 to 24 inches (45 to 62 centimeters) and usually weighs only about 4 to 11 pounds (2 to 5 kilometers). At present, biologists have very little information about the lifestyle and habits of these creatures, because they are often quite careful about humans, and therefore it is difficult for observation to track down. It is assumed that mostly rodents and birds feed on and can have an average life of up to 12 years.

A typical marbled cat has a head that seems to be disproportionately small for your body, and a fluffy, annular tail that can be slightly longer than the length of its fuselage.This cats often spot leatherh, which usually consists of black or brown spots on a gray or reddish background. The hind legs of the creature are usually noticeably longer than its front limbs and its legs may also seem disproportionately large.

Although it was supposed to be largely night, the marbled cat was also seen by moving in daylight. It is assumed that these cats are very frantic climbers, although it was also known to spend part of their time on the forest. They usually inhabit forested regions between sea levels and 9842.5 feet (3,000 meters) height.

biologists believe that the average marbled cat achieves sexual maturity at the age of about 22 months. Their litters usually contain one or two kittens, but can contain up to four. It is known that kittens raised in captivity start eating a solid food at the age of about four months.

These jungle cats are usually assumed that they are endangered, protrousOnly an estimated 10,000 individuals live in the wild. Human activities and intervention in the marbled cat habitat are considered the greatest threats for this species. A marbled cat is considered very shy people, so individuals can remove from their territories at the least sign of human intervention.
