Every cat I've met so far has been a smaller-than-a-house cat. Will update with new developments as they occur though.
Probably a good thing, lol
Also the deadliest hunter.
Actually no, but for an exciting reason: this is a species only just newly identified this month!
The one with the incredibly high hunting success rate is the black-footed cat, which is from southern Africa. The one in the pic is a tilcayo, from Bolivia. It looks similar to another species of wildcat in the same area, but one that had brought into a wildlife sanctuary (by a guy who found and cared for it as a kitten and didn't initially realise it wasn't a domestic cat) and a scientist realised that it was not actually the same thing
Well that’s way cooler.
I've read the articles and saw the little video clip, but I haven't found one with sound and I want to hear it! Anyone?
It’s so cool that we keep discovering new species. Makes the earth a bit more magical.
Typical internet cats. Videos, pics, memes, and discussion welcome!
