Love our Leopard Cat

Scientifically known as Prionailurus bengalensis , the mainland leopard cat is Singapore’s last native wildcat since the extinction of tigers and leopards in Singapore.

The wild leopard cat is similar to the size of a domestic cat, but it is more slender and has a tail that is half as long as it's body. It is a versatile creature that is able to move stealthily amongst the forest floor, manoeuvre through the forest canopy and swim efficiently across rivers. It is thanks to their excellent swimming capabilities that mainland leopard cats are able to colonise offshore islands.
