The Asian jungle cat is also called the reed cat and swamp cat. This medium-sized feline lives in the Middle East, South Asia, and southern China. Its range extends into the Volga River delta, Egypt, Sinkiang, Indochina, and Sri Lanka.

They inhabit wetlands, swamps, and river areas with dense weeks. People threaten survival by destroying swamps, trapping, and using poison. This solitary animal travels alone outside of the mating season. Its fur has a uniform sandy, reddish-brown, or grey color with no spots.

These felines target small mammals and birds as their preferred prey. It hunts by stalking animals before it executes a fast sprint or leap. The large ears help it find the exact location of food. This long-legged cat is the largest member of its specific genus group.

Its head and body measure 23 to 30 inches long. The cat stands nearly 14 inches tall at the shoulder. It has a long narrow face and a white muzzle. The pointed ears are long and sit close together.

A small black tuft of hair grows on the tips of their ears. Yellow eyes with slit pupils feature white lines around the rims. Dark lines run from the eye corners down the nose. The wide cheekbones give the skull a round appearance.

Reed, the Asian jungle cat skull replica, splashes into the cool water of the neighborhood pool. He holds a yellow foam noodle tightly under his chin to stay afloat.

Fritz, the fishing cat skull replica, dives gracefully off the high dive springboard. He executes a perfect flip before sliding into the deep end with a tiny splash.

Gentry, the Geoffroy’s cat skull replica, floats lazily on a giant pink flamingo inflatable raft. He kicks his feet gently to steer himself toward the shallow end.

Jazz, the Jaguarundi male skull replica, is in his high lifeguard seat, looking sexy as hell. All the girls at the pool are in love with him. Last week one faked drowning just to have his lips on her mouth.
