Here's why:
* Diet: They primarily feed on small mammals, birds, reptiles, and insects. They are opportunistic hunters, meaning they will take advantage of whatever prey is available.
* Hunting Techniques: They use stealth and ambush techniques to catch their prey.
* Physical Adaptations: They have sharp claws and teeth, excellent night vision, and a powerful build that are all adaptations for predation.
While they are not as large or powerful as other big cats, they are still skilled hunters and play an important role in their ecosystem.
