jungle cats

Rainforest predatory felines

Jungle cats can refer generally to any wild cats inhabiting tropical forests—leopards, jaguars, ocelots, and the like.

More specifically, the jungle cat (*Felis chaus*) is a medium-sized wild cat native to Asia and parts of Africa, despite its name often found in wetlands and grasslands rather than dense jungle: Jungle cats hunt rodents and birds in the marshes.
