Iriomote wildcat (Prionailurus bengalensis iriomotensis)<\/span><\/strong>is an animal discovered by science in 1965.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
They are so endangered that they were designated a national special natural treasure in 1977, a domestic rare wildlife species in 1994, and on the Red List of endangered species by the Ministry of the Environment in 2007.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Characteristics include white spots behind the ears, round ear tips, vertical stripes on the forehead, white lines around the eyes, a wide snout, a thick tail, and a spotted pattern on the entire body.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Its main habitat is the lowlands from the foot of the mountains to the coast of Iriomote Island. The Iriomote wildcat prefers this environment because the lowland areas have water-resistant plants, rivers flowing around them, and an abundance of food.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
