The flat-headed cat is a petite wild feline with rusty-brown fur and a uniquely stretched-out face. It prowls Southeast Asia's wetlands, its small size and webbed paws making it an excellent swimmer.
- This cat weighs as little as a large pineapple, between 1.5 and 2.5 kg.
- Its body stretches 41-50 cm long, with a stubby 13-15 cm tail.
- Rounded ears and a slender build help it move through dense vegetation.
