Fishing Cat

Since 2022, Panthera has been fitting fishing cats with GPS collars in the area in and around Khao Sam Roi Yot National Park, Thailand. This important wildlife habitat is also highly fragmented by human developments, including fishponds and shrimp farms. Because of this, fishing cats here face challenges to their survival and are listed as “Vulnerable” by the IUCN Red List.

This is the second installment in our series meant to shine a light on the 33 species of small wild cats found around the globe. You can read our first blog on the flat-headed cat here.
