(The reddish-brown spots are how the species got its name.)
They are fierce hunters who look for rodents and small birds.

This species isnt endangered, but it is considered Vulnerable by theInternational Union for Conservation of Nature.
The reason is mostly due to habitat loss as human populations in India and Sri Lanka continue to grow.
