Give me one. Hand it over now.
Nope, it's mine.
@@wassim-akkari noted. Imma rob your house.
Ohh, I want one too! So damned adorable!!!
All very cute, until it eats your face hehehe
Tbh, :)) if we love wild life, let it be in the wild
The narrator basically described every house cat.
@@thewinusaYet house cats DO roam free as they please, go where they want, do what they like, any time any where!
I þink house cats can grow larger
"he's building a 3D map of the jungle". My housecat - "fuck, I got into this box and now I can't yet out!!! MEOWRRRR!!"
Instead of Disney Remakes, they should be making animation films based onto this adorable cat's adventures. 😍
Disney's animals can talk like humans and are bbf of princesses
id watch it
I can't believe this sweet kitty has been on this earth my entire life and I am just learning of his existence 😍
Rusty spoted cat :) i love the name of it :)
02:34 - "I AM the danger!" 😤
"meeeah"
ill name him PEANUT😭
PEANUT is kinda uhhh good name I think
It is literally impossible for my brain to understand this is not a little baby cat
If not friend, then why friend-shaped?
The show - Big Cats The clip - Smallest Cat I'm still okay with this.
just needs longer clips this should be a full documentary
Absolutely an amazing footage of the world's smallest cat. We are fortunate to have them in our jungles in Sri Lanka.
Please be ruthless in their protection! That means, protect their homes....and them
What?! These adorable little ones are here in Sri Lanka! Omg
@@TharinduWijayasekara They are native mate
They are native to india 🇮🇳
Ado aththada❤❤❤
i love him
I love you to
His tiny cat is a ferocious hunter: "mew!"
I know they're wild but i would give away my soul for a chance to pet it
Not give away my soul but ' would like to have one
I can arrange that!
Ur soul is wayyy more precious than that cat.
NO. You can not domesticate a wild animal in the way you are thinking. Wild animals are wild animals. You may be able to tame them somewhat, especially if raised from birth, but they are still wild and potentially dangerous wild animals. Domestication is a process that typically takes thousands of generations of selective breeding for submissiveness and other desirable traits. When an animal species has been domesticated, it is no longer a sand cat. It is something entirely different. It’s basically a house cat that looks a little different from the average house cat. It is not a domesticated sand cat anymore than a golden retriever is a wolf. Of course, there is the example of the Russian foxes. Over a hundred generations of intensive selective breeding and we have something that is partially domesticated and sort of like a fox. But it’s not a fox. They have physical features like domesticated dogs, such as curly tails and floppy ears. Cats are much harder to domesticate than canines. And what would be the purpose? You’d wind up with a house cat, not a friendly sand cat. And what would we do with the tens of thousands of unacceptably undomesticated sand cats bred in the process? Euthanize them? It is a terrible, immoral, and unworkable idea.
@@DebRoo11he is actuallly right yall need to stop
I can't believe they are this small! Cute and fierce at the same time! Amazing animal!
We must protect at all costs!
Then you'll need to keep humans away from them.
@@kmarch6630and if human intervention is needed to help, and that's with literally anything, not just animals. The cause was sadly 9/10 humans' fault.
@@kmarch6630they are far from humans in South Indian jungle 🇮🇳
sadly development is more important to human we destroy more and more forest to build houses, highway & buildings :'D
Wow! Mind blowing CUTENESS! What a fierce, cute hunter!
*Whether it's a tiny feline with a fierce pounce or a small predator with razor-sharp teeth, their cuteness adds an extra layer of fascination to their remarkable abilities*

The moment when it gets close to the camera and starts purring omg 🥹😭😭I want to pet him and boop his little nose ❤❤
I wouldn't come near this fella even if my life depended on it. Such cuteness would instantly kill me.
If he is so tiny as an adult! How tiny he is after birth? 😅🤯
Thats why nature is so amazing
You can’t imagine how small it is
Literally
Not even a microscope could find him.
It goes down to two things: are you a grower or a shower? Lol😅
Adorable cat. So small but daring
If the adults are that small.. I can't imagine how tiny the kittens could be! 😍 I'LL BET THEY'D BE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!🥰
This is actually an adolescent. Adults are still pretty tiny (only a third the weight of a domestic cat) but have proportions more in line with that of other adult cat species.
Cameraman good 👍
Amazing how they find & capture such an elusive creature in all of that jungle!
He sounds so tiny...he looks so tiny...he IS so tiny, but what a little miracle!! At first I thought he couldn't possibly be able to survive, but boy was I wrong. I think he's a little dynamo who's gonna be juuuuust fiiiiine.🥰
I want one 😅
Yea sure... make this animal go extinct too because of human desire...
@@theFINNISHmonster1they weren’t saying they would get one they said they want one and they probably know they can’t have it?
If enough people got em and liked them, they couldn't go extinct.
@@9494_NOT_ME @theFINNISHmonster1 has too much time on their hands to tell the difference like anyone is going to go into the jungle to find a cat to take home lmao
NO. Just because you find it cut doesnt mean you can pet it, You can not domesticate a wild animal in the way you are thinking. Wild animals are wild animals. You may be able to tame them somewhat, especially if raised from birth, but they are still wild and potentially dangerous wild animals.

I wish all forests were filled with tiny cats like him
Lol, all cats are bird killers! Methinks if all forests were full of even these super cute and precious cats, then those forests wouldn’t have any birds left! 🌝
For example if the forests of Zealand had these cute little kits in them I feel like the kiwi bird would go extinct real quick.
*Imagine the symphony of their playful antics echoing through the forest, filling the air with joy and wonder. These adorable creatures would undoubtedly add a touch of magic and enchantment to the wilderness*

Because we need cats of all sizes... I wish we had a cat species of more than 1 ton body weight...
Because they're nature creatioy
These little fierce cuties are native to India, Srilanka and have also been recorded in Western Nepal. They are protected in India (as all wild cats are by the govt), so it's illegal to keep them as a pet. An adult rusty spotted cat can weigh only around 1.5 kg. They're so freaking cute 🥹
Bro surviving in the rainforest my giant ass cat cant defeata fly
A nice one and fine narration and fine camera work .. 💚 . But why this clip is so short ? This little jungle hero deserves a bigger video with another little heroes . . I like cats , I like BBC Earth 💕
idk
Beautiful Little Kitty 🐈 🤎
he must have truly exceptional senses to survive in the jungle in the form of a small cat, so many species could be natural enemies
Can you imagine they share habitat with tiger, elephant and bears
カワいいのぅ~(*´Д`)ハァハァ
Precious!😮❤
D'aww, what a good kitty! This kitty needs a tin of Tuna and a snuggles, immediately!!
A friend just sent me this to chill out after I stumbled on some fricked up gore on KZhead shorts. This kitty is literally curing trauma rn
People keep wolves and lions, I just want a pocket cat.
Oh, my goodness this cat is full with CUTNESS!
What a beautiful Little critter
"Young cats are born curious. It's how they learn about their world." The narrator sounded so serious saying this, my brain auto translated it into David's voice.
Eeeeeeeeekkk, I just want to squeeze him🥰🥰🥰 Absolutely beautiful ❤️
Cats are the most fascinating animals in the world.❤
So adorable.
Man that is a cutie

Reparei que não gosta muito de água!! Que lindo gato e tão cheio de sentidos apurados!! Adorei ...os olhos parecem 2 bolas grandes, de Ping Pong! Pequenino mas com memória de gigante!!
*Seu tamanho não limita sua memória nem sua capacidade de explorar e se adaptar ao ambiente. Apesar de não ser conhecido por ser um grande fã de água, o Rusty Spotted Cat compensa com seu charme e habilidades excepcionais*
