Feeding behaviour of fishing cat in the Godavari mangroves, India
2018  Cat News (67): 30-31

We observed a rare feeding behaviour of a fishing cat _Prionailurus viverrinus_ on a dog-faced water snake _Cerberus rynchops_ and pond heron _Ardeola grayii_ in the mangroves of the Godavari delta in India. Since fishing cats are threatened due to various levels of anthropogenic pressure, these observations giving insight into their behaviour highlight the need to study these elusive cats.
