Distribution (IUCN Map)
This unique species of wild cat is found distributed in patches across South and Southeast Asia. This is likely due to where wetland habitats can be found, although many questions have yet to be answered about the true global distribution of the fishing cat. Records of their presence in some regions need to be authenticated. Confirmed records show fishing cat populations to be present in Sri Lanka, India, Nepal, Cambodia, Thailand, Pakistan, Bangladesh and Myanmar.
