Fishing cats are a rare breed of cat that lives primarily in Bangladesh and South Asia. While they seem to have evolved specifically to hunt for fish, researchers recently discovered that fishing cats can climb trees and hunt birds as well.
Why scientists are puzzled that fishing cats can kill and eat birds remains a mystery since every house cat can kill and hunt birds. Still it’s nice to know that if fish ever became scarce, fishing cats can always rely on a steady diet of poultry to get by until the fish return once more.
