Meet the rusty spotted cat (Prionailurus rubiginosus), the world’s smallest feline and a strong contender for the cutest wild creature you could ever encounter in the forest.
Although the solitary feline is small enough to fit in the palm of your hand and only weighs 2-3.5 pounds; it is armed with agility, athleticism, a curious spirit and eyes six times more powerful than humans.
Check out the embedded video below to see this little beauty in action as he explores his forest home in Sri Lanka. The clip is from the BBC programme, Big Cats.
