Asiatic Lion - Data, Pictures & Videos

[Sanju]

Rusty: The short fur is grey over most of the body, with rusty spots over the back and flanks, while the underbelly is white with large dark spots. The darker colored tail is thick and about half the length of the body, and the spots are "less distinct". There are six dark streaks on each side of the head, extending over the cheeks and forehead.

You can see adult Rusty's have pale spots like the name saying rusty spotted cat. Their tail is lot thick than Asiatic wild cat in the pic. (The above pic angle only is confusing me and making it hard to decide with that narrow head like rusty and those streaks which are distinct similar to rusty's neck rather than stripes of asiatic wild cat's neck)

So, over all I think it is an Asiatic wild cat. @Lycaon
