What is the jungle cat doing in Gurugram's farmlands? This elusive species, usually found in grasslands and dense vegetation, has adapted to survive in agricultural areas near Gurugram and beyond.

While large cats receive much attention, India’s small cats, including the jungle cat, also require focus for conservation efforts.
