## Caption

Named for its distinctively shaped skull, the flat-headed cat is one of the world’s most endangered and elusive felines.

Weighing in at less than the size of a domestic cat, this species roams the swampy peat forests of their native Southeast Asia. To navigate their muddy habitat, these cats are equipped with claws that don’t fully retract and partially webbed paws! 🐾

#NatGeoExplorer and #PhotoArk founded JoelSartore documented this flat-headed cat (Prionailurus planiceps) at the Taiping Zoo. Photo Ark uses the power of photography to inspire people to delve into the captivating lives of wildlife, revealing their remarkable behaviors and exploring solutions to safeguard them from growing threats.
