Včera mi byla po asi dvou letech přítelkyní připomenuta existence kočky plochočelé. Jsou to opravdu kuriózní miciny, není toho o nich mnoho známo, do roku 1995 se dokonce věřilo, že vyhynuly, ale naštěstí jsou stále mezi námi!
Plochočelky (a nebo jim ještě říkám plackočky, v angličtině se totiž jmenují flat-headed cat) žijí na ostrovech Borneo a Sumatra a taky na Malajském poloostrově. Je možné, že i jinde, ale to už se neví. Neví se ani, kolik jich může vlastně být. Živí se rybami, k jejichž lovu mají dokonce i speciálně uzpůsobený chrup a mezi prsty na packách plovací blánu. Tu kromě plochočelek mají taky jejich příbuzné kočky rybářské. Ale pozor, plackočky se neživí jen rybami, ale taky obojživelníky a rády si pochutnají na sladkých bramborách.
Podle mě jsou to tak trochu ošklivé příšerky a na některých fotografiích mi hodně připomínají outloně, na jiných vydry obrovské (pokud nevíte, jak vypadají, dobře pro vás). To nic nemění na tom, že jsou velice kůl!

Phylogenetic wild cat tournament
Leopard cat lineage
Genus: Prionailurus
Depth: 10 (9 wins away from championship)
Two pleasantly weird-looking cats, both living around water in Southeast Asia and preying mostly on fish. (My favourite sentence of flat-headed cat's wikipedia page: "They have been observed to wash objects, raccoon-style.") The fishing cat shows the standard Prionailurus spots, while the flat-headed cat is the only non-spotted member of the genus. (It's still agouti, not solid colored - in domestic cat terms, this pattern would be called ticked tabby.)

Happy Flat (Headed) Fuck Friday!
In a nature group I'm a part of, we were talking about wildcats and I mentioned that the weirder members of the family are my faves. I posted a photo in the chat of this flat-headed cat who's expression looked somewhere between 'no thoughts, head empty' and existential crisis, and we all had a good laugh! So, that was the inspiration for this haha

Last day of February i bring you an absolute banger of a cat. Please google it, look at it's superbness!! I am big fan of big ears, but even I gotta admit that the Flat-headed cat has the cutest little ears.
The tail of this lad turned out way too long, but that's artistic licence XD
The flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) is native to Borneo, Sumatra and the Thai-Malay peninsula. It is categorised as endangered, because of habitat loss.

The flat-headed cat has eyes positioned farther forward and closer together than other cats, which maximizes binocular vision and makes them especially good at finding and catching food in water. ©Photo Ark

Phylogenetic wild cat tournament
Leopard cat lineage
Genus: Prionailurus - Final
Depth: 9 (8 wins away from championship)
Enter: our last Prionailurus species, the rusty-spotted cat - this means it was the first one to separate, and so it's the furthest relative of the other species of the genus.
It's also the second smallest feline of the world. And it has rusty spots. So cool.
