Fishing cat
A fishing cat’s paws have webbing between the toes to help it swim. The wide paws also help it walk through muddy areas without sinking.
You can probably guess what these cats eat—fish!. Of course, they don’t use a fishing pole! Instead, the cats wade in shallow water and use their paws to scoop fish out of the water.
Sometimes they dive into deeper areas and catch a meal with their teeth.
