Observations on fighting among fishing cats from Godavari mangroves, India
2018  Cat News (68): 04-05

Fishing cat _Prionailurus viverrinus_ is an elusive and poorly known small cat species of the world, which is threatened due to various levels of anthropogenic pressures. The mangroves and surrounding habitats of the Godavari Delta are an important conservation area, which supports a viable fishing cat population. Herewith, we describe a direct observation of an aggressive inter-sexual interaction of fishing cat and we believe that this observation will add to the knowledge of its behaviour in the wild.
