In some photos, a playful cat can be seen, the daily friend of children. But in reality the tabby cat (Felis nigripes) does not play freely in our apartments, because it is the deadliest feline on the planet.
It seems initially an undeserved medal when you consider that this rare species that lives in Africa, mainly in Botswana and Namibia, has small dimensions, no more than 52 centimeters, for a weight that does not exceed three kilograms.
But because of its fast metabolism, the tabby cat needs to be fed often.
She hunts on average every hour, killing like a true "killer" at least 12-14 birds or small rodents, with a success rate that exceeds 60% of attempts.
To draw a parallel with the "king of the jungle", the lion, this is a three times better stat.
There aren't many sightings of the small killer feline because it only hunts at night. He does not go out during the day even to drink water. In fact, he never drinks water because he gets it from his many victims.
