The jungle cat (Felis chaus), also called reed cat and swamp cat, is a medium-sized cat native to Asia from southern China in the east through Southeast and Central Asia to the Nile Valley in the west. It is listed as least concern in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species as it is widespread and common particularly in India. However, population declines and range contraction are of concern, particularly in Egypt, in the Caucasus, and in Southwest, Central and Southeast Asia.
Geographic variation in the jungle cat is quite considerable. Due to the small tuft on the ears it is also called the jungle lynx, though it is not a member of the Lynx genus.
Description
The jungle cat is the largest of the extant Felisspecies. It has a small tuft on the ears, a comparatively short tail, and a distinct spinal crest. Because of its long legs, short tail and tuft on the ears, the jungle cat resembles a small lynx. The face is relatively slender. Fur colour varies with subspecies, yellowish-grey to reddish-brown or tawny-grey, and is ticked with black. Vertical bars are visible on the fur of kittens, which disappear in adult cats, although a few dark markings may be retained on the limbs or tail. The muzzle is white, and the underside is paler in colour than the rest of the body.
Jungle cats can range from 50 to 94cm (20 to 37in) in length, plus a short 20 to 31cm (7.9 to 12.2in) tail, and stand about 36cm (14in) tall. Weight varies across their range from 3 to 16kg (6.6 to 35.3lb), with a median weight of around 8kg (18lb). Females are slightly smaller than males. True to Bergmann's Rule, the felid is largest at the northern limits of its range and becomes smaller-bodied closer to the tropics.
Jungle Cat is a 1960 American documentary film written and directed by James Algar. The documentary chronicles the life of a female spotted jaguar in the South American jungle. The film was released on August 10, 1960 by Buena Vista Distribution.
