You saw a wild fishing cat - this is so great! I am friends with the founder of Fishing Cat Conservancy, so I am always interested to hear about such sightings.
 
@Arizona Docent Thank you! It seems that fishing cat is common in Sri Lanka, and it is said that this species even thrive in Colombo. The only thing puzzling me a lot is the ears of fishing cats in Sri Lanka are larger than the fishing cat from other parts of Asia.
