In the wild the rusty spotted cat, Prionailurus rubiginosus, is found in Sri Lanka and parts of India
Keepers looking after the world's smallest and most fearless species of cat (at Port Lympne Wild Animal Park in Kent) are celebrating the birth of four tiny kittens the size of mice.
Rusty spotted cats are little bigger than rats when fully grown and the kittens were estimated to weigh 40 grams, a third of a domestic cat's kitten, when they were born.
The cats, the smallest wild species in the world, live in forest regions and will attack and eat whatever they can catch, including rats and mice, birds, insects and frogs.
