Flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps)

You make a convincing argument !
Named for its distinctively shaped skull, The flat-headed cat is one of the world's most endangered and elusive felines.
Weighing in at less than the size of a domestic cat, this species roams the swampy peat forests of their native Southeast Asia. To navigate their muddy habitat, these cats are equipped with claws that don't fully retract and partially webbed paws!
Včera mi byla po asi dvou letech přítelkyní připomenuta existence kočky plochočelé. Jsou to opravdu kuriózní miciny, není toho o nich mnoho známo, do roku 1995 se dokonce věřilo, že vyhynuly, ale naštěstí jsou stále mezi námi!
Plochočelky (a nebo jim ještě říkám plackočky, v angličtině se totiž jmenují flat-headed cat) žijí na ostrovech Borneo a Sumatra a taky na Malajském poloostrově. Je možné, že i jinde, ale to už se neví. Neví se ani, kolik jich může vlastně být. Živí se rybami, k jejichž lovu mají dokonce i speciálně uzpůsobený chrup a mezi prsty na packách plovací blánu. Tu kromě plochočelek mají taky jejich příbuzné kočky rybářské. Ale pozor, plackočky se neživí jen rybami, ale taky obojživelníky a rády si pochutnají na sladkých bramborách.
Podle mě jsou to tak trochu ošklivé příšerky a na některých fotografiích mi hodně připomínají outloně, na jiných vydry obrovské (pokud nevíte, jak vypadají, dobře pro vás). To nic nemění na tom, že jsou velice kůl!

Choose:
Fishing cat (Prionailurus viverrinus)
Flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps)
Two pleasantly weird-looking cats, both living around water in Southeast Asia and preying mostly on fish. (My favourite sentence of flat-headed cat's wikipedia page: "They have been observed to wash objects, raccoon-style.") The fishing cat shows the standard Prionailurus spots, while the flat-headed cat is the only non-spotted member of the genus. (It's still agouti, not solid colored - in domestic cat terms, this pattern would be called ticked tabby.)
