🐈Leopard cat
豹貓（學名：Prionailurus bengalensis）又名石虎、華南豹貓、山貓、金錢貓、錢貓、狸貓、猫狸，是分布於季風亞洲的猫科豹貓屬物種。其种加词“bengalensis ”意为“孟加拉的”。 豹貓的體型與家猫大致相仿，以外表來看容易誤認為家貓，因此偶有野生豹貓被當家貓收養，但各亚种的差别比较大，例如印度尼西亚的亚种平均体长45厘米，尾长20厘米，而西伯利亚的亚种体长则达到60厘米，尾长40厘米。 豹貓的毛皮也有很多种颜色：南方的豹貓为黄色，北方的则为银灰色（推測與適應各種生活環境有關）。胸部及腹部是白色。豹貓的斑点一般为黑色。 豹貓乃肉食性夜行動物，多在晚上或清晨於郊外出沒，通常以啮齿类、鸟类、鱼类、爬行类及小型哺乳动物为食。除了交配季节外，它们一般为独处。豹貓的妊娠期为65-70天，每胎2-4个後代。 根據國際自然保護聯盟2015年版資料顯示，豹貓生長於海拔高度0公尺至3240公尺，能在大部分情況下，使用退化的森林或經人工開墾的土地作為棲息地，如油棕園和甘蔗園。
