This elusive feline is perfectly adapted to life in the trees, where it hunts and hides with quiet grace.

  • Its range stretches from the eastern Himalayas to Southeast Asia.
  • It can live in forests as high as 2,500 meters above sea level.
  • The marbled cat has been Near Threatened since 2015.
