Felis prisca

Felis prisca

Felis prisca

Felis prisca was a prehistoric wildcat of Pleistocene Eurasia, likely occupying wooded edges, scrub, and broken open country. It hunted small mammals and birds through quiet stalking followed by a rapid pounce and killing bite. Fossil evidence indicates a cat broadly similar in build to modern wildcats, with sharp claws and teeth suited to ambush hunting.
