The rare and elusive cat
The rarest cat of India - Rusty spotted cat is considered rare and elusive. The cat is hard to spot as it is nocturnal in behavior and rest inside mines, rock crevices and inside tree trunks. The rusty color and black spot make it well camouflage in forest and has some very strong night vision along with strong ears to spot any slight sound in forest floor. It was interesting to observe the feline and its habitat preferences.
