    This Marbled Cat is found in Sreemongal Bangladesh. It is a wild cat.
    "The marbled cat (Pardofelis marmorata) is a small wild cat of South and Southeast Asia, where It is suspected to occur over a large range. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List.
    The marbled cat is similar in size to a domestic cat, but has rounded ears and a very long tail that is as long as the cat's head and body. The ground colour of its long fur varies from brownish-grey to ochreous brown above and greyish to buff below. It is patterned with black stripes on the short and round head, on the neck and back. "
    Common Name: Marbled Cat

    Phylum: Chordata (Vertebrata)
    Class: Mammalia
    Order: Carnivora
    Family: Felidae
    Genus: Pantherinae (Pardofelis)
    Species: marmorata
    Misc: Genetic studies of this cats blood serum, shows that it shares an identical karyotype with Lynx, Panthera and Uncia, leaving this cats evolutionary history somewhat of a taxonomic puzzle. Perhaps, this little cat is similar in form to the forest ancestors of the big cats some 10 million years ago (Collier and O’Brien, 1985). However, it may have also diminished in size more recently due to competition with other big cats.
    Size and Appearance: The Marbled Cat is like a miniature version of the Clouded Leopard, weighing between 9-18 pounds and reaching lengths of 32-46 inches. It has thick, soft fur, which varies from brownish gray through yellow to reddish brown in color, and is covered in large blotches, which are paler in the center. There are black spots on its limbs and some black lines on the head and neck. The Marbled Cat has a short, more rounded head than other felines, with a wide forehead and large pupils. Like the Clouded Leopard, the Marbled Cat also has relatively enlarged upper canines. The tail is very long and bushy, and well adapted to its arboreal lifestyle. It’s arboreal adaptations suggest that it is probably the Old World ecological equivalent of the Margay.
    In captivity, Marbled Cats have lived 12 years.
    Habitat: Primarily tropical forests, also reported in mixed deciduous-evergreen forests and secondary forests.
    Distribution: Southern Asia from Nepal through southeastern Asia to Borneo and Sumatra.
    Reproduction and Offspring: After a gestation of 81 days they produce a litter of 1-4 young. They weigh approximately 3.5 - 4 ounces at birth. They reach maturity at around 21 months. Their ears unfold from their head at 5 days, and their eyes open by 14 days.
