The official face of Chilika, Asia’s largest lagoon is a cat. But it's not just any ordinary cat, it's a Fishing Cat. If you spot one on the road after dusk, you could easily believe that it's a leopard standing in the middle of the path with its big round glowing eyes. With the help of moonlight, the blotches and stripes on its coat create the illusion of a tiger-like cat. What also sets this wild cat apart is its habit of enjoying mud and water, quite a contrast to feline nature in general.
