Rusty-spotted cat

The rusty-spotted cat is a tiny wild cat that prowls the forests of India, Nepal, and Sri Lanka. About the size of a domestic kitten even as an adult, it's one of the smallest wild cats in the world. These elusive hunters face growing threats as their forest homes disappear.

• Smaller than most house cats when fully grown.
• Lives only in South Asia's forests and grasslands.
• Population declining due to habitat destruction.
