In India, the fishing cat （Prionailurus viverrinus） has a lifespan that typically ranges from 10 to 12 years in the wild, though some individuals may live longer in protected environments. This medium-sized wild cat is native to wetlands and mangrove forests in regions like the Sundarbans and parts of South India. Local conservation efforts, such as those by Indian wildlife organizations, focus on habitat preservation to support their survival, as factors like habitat loss and human-wildlife conflict can reduce their lifespan. Understanding these aspects helps in promoting indigenous conservation products and initiatives aimed at protecting this unique species. |
