The African wildcat is very closely related to the domestic house cat, and is the same approximate size as well. It is, however, less diverse in its appearance, as its fur colour is typically brown and grey on most of its back and side, with black stripes covering its front and hind legs. Males and females are generally around the same size, weighing an average of 3.2 to 4.5 kg in total. Sizes vary widely from region to region, however. |
