The Jungle Cat has a uniformed sandy brown coat with a greyish tone and pointed years. The blackish tips on the pointed years give them a blackish rim. Their habitat seems to be restricted to the dry lowlands scrub forests. Mostly seen alone; their behavior is not very well known in the wild. Diet consists mainly of small mammals such as hares, mouse deer and rodents, and birds and their eggs.
