Java and Bali.
The cat is about the size of a large domestic cat, measuring up to just
over 24 inches in body size with a short tail and legs. The head of the
cat appears slightly flattened on the top, which gives the cat its name,
and the muzzle slightly extended.
Rarely seen in the wild the flat-headed cat is a nocturnal hunter and is
to be found searching for prey in areas of tropical rainforest bordering
streams and rivers. Its main prey consists of fish and aquatic animals,
along with birds and small rodents.
Not much is known about the population of the flat-headed cat to establish
its true status but it is believed to be endangered throughout most of its
range.
