Small cats gone wild

Flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps)

Picture 4 of 9

With an extreme depression of the skull and bright reddish facial fur, the Flat-headed cat is easily distinguished. There are only about 2,500 of these small cats left in the wild, which are native to patches of wetlands in the Thai-Malay Peninsula, Borneo and Sumatra. They are solitary animals and predominantly nocturnal. Image: Jim Sanderson/Wikimedia Commons
