The African Wild Cat lives throughout Africa, and the Middle East, except western Africa where there are rainforests. They can live in the mountains, plains, woods and the desert. The African wild cat looks much like the European, except that their fur is shorter and their tail is longer. They weigh between 10-15 lb. and are 22-28 inches in body length from nose to beginning of the tail, then an extra 12 inches for the total length of the tail. The cats can be steel gray or rusty brown, or even a goldish red color. Those cats living in arid open country are generally lighter. The African Wild Cat snack on rodents, insects, birds, and small mammals. |
