Comments The smallest wild cat in the world ~ These cats are extremely vicious and hard to find, being so small and nocturnal to boot! They weigh about 1 kg. They are also called Anthill Tiger, because they are utterly wild and nearly impossible to domesticate, even if raised by humans, they stay wild.
Specimen Condition Live Specimen

This page is a Tree of Life Branch Page.

Each ToL branch page provides a synopsis of the characteristics of a group of organisms representing a branch of the Tree of Life. The major distinction between a branch and a leaf of the Tree of Life is that each branch can be further subdivided into descendent branches, that is, subgroups representing distinct genetic lineages.

For a more detailed explanation of the different ToL page types, have a look at the Structure of the Tree of Life page.
