| B. Group libyca - steppe wildcats | |
| 1992 Book Chapter | |
In general appearance steppe cat is very similar to forest wildcat, but appears somewhat smaller and lighter. Tail relatively slightly longer (usually more than one-half- length of body) and, more importantly, thin, and not trunctaded but pointed at the tip. Comparative lighter color of steppe cat due in part to the fact, that even in winter, its coat does not attain the levels of density, length, and luxuriance seen in forest wildcat. |
