Iriomote wild cat

This wildcat is the precious existence that only Iriomote-jima Island inhabits. It is said less than 100. It is appointed to a natural monument of a country.

A characteristic:

Size as for the house cat. A point of an ear is round. There is a tiger ear-shaped spot (a spot of a white obi) behind an ear. Its tail is big and is long. They are not afraid of water and can swim, and underwater bait can capture it.

 

This is the solid which fitted a traffic accident.
