The Fishing Cat is thought to attract fish by gently tapping the water to create small ripples as though an insect has just landed. The fishing Cat then scoops the fish from the water using its paws.

Thong Dee’s little calf has a name! We’ve named him “Luk Chai”.

After going through over 30,000 entires that you all put forward in the naming competition, us keepers decided to go with “Luk Chai”. It’s pronounced Look- Chai.
We liked this name as it reflects his Thai heritage and means “my son”. A word that sounds similar to Chai also means triumph and our boisterous and inquisitive boy certainly is a triumph for the conservation breeding program.
