Jungle Cats

July 27th, 2015.

I cannot think of another zoo in the United States (and I've been to almost 300 just in that nation) with Jungle Cats. Can anyone list another zoo with the species? You can imagine my shock when I came upon this enclosure.

I'm not very familiar with jungle cats - is there some sort of sexual dimorphism or something? The one on the right has a much more distinct face than the one on the left. Or maybe it's just the angle of the photo playing tricks on my mind?

Feline Conservation Center in Rosemond California has one.

Shambala Preserve had one too, though it may have died by now. Same with International Exotic Animal Sanctuary.

They are available in the private sector. I saw and photographed my first black ones at a Florida breeder.
