Comments | The smallest wild cat in the world ~ These cats are extremely vicious and hard to find, being so small and nocturnal to boot! They weigh about 1 kg. They are also called Anthill Tiger, because they are utterly wild and nearly impossible to domesticate, even if raised by humans, they stay wild. |
