Baby Asian Fishing Cats



These darling babies were born on July 29 at the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium (Ohio). The litter consists of two boys and one girl.  Fishing cats are an endangered species from southern Asia.  They have webbing between their toes and are frequently swimming and diving in the waters and marshes, searching for fish, which is their primary food.  Adults weigh between 15 and 35 pounds in the wild.  These kittens weigh about one-half pound each.
