2.Unlike all other cats, they are not carnivores.
Which of the statements given above is/are incorrect?
Answer: B
Notes:
Statement 1 is correct: Fishing cats are nocturnal or crepuscular which means active during the night or the twilight period but daytime sightings have been reported too.
Statement 2 is incorrect: They are hyper-carnivores—animals that get over 70% of their nutrition from meat—making them excellent predators. They mostly prey on fish and are perfectly adapted to hunt in water. Apart from fish, they also prey on frogs, crustaceans, snakes, birds, and scavengers on carcasses of larger animals.
