Here’s a bit from the Felidae Conservation Fund, a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit in the United States, about this faraway feline:
A peculiar looking cat with short legs, a long head with tiny, low-set ears, and a short tail, the flat-headed cat has long, thick, and soft fur. The color of the fur is reddish brown on top of the head, dark roan brown on the body, and mottled white on the underbelly. The muzzle and chin are white.
The flat-headed cat’s diet is dominated by fish, so it usually stays close to water. The species’ prey also includes frogs and shrimp. Rodents and domestic chickens are also taken at times. Flat-headed cats also consume fruit and sweet potatoes, the latter from plantations.
The flat-headed cat’s range includes southern Thailand, Malaysia, Sumatra, and Borneo.
