The jungle cat, also called the reed cat or swamp cat, is a medium sized cat native from the eastern Mediterranean region and the Caucasus to parts of Central, South and Southeast Asia. It inhabits mainly wetlands such as swamps and littoral and riparian areas with dense vegetation. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List, though it is threatened by the destruction of wetlands, trapping and poisoning.
