Northern tiger cat

Leopardus tigrinus

Probably one of the least studied felines in the wild, and one of the smallest. The northern oncilla is found from northern Brazil to Costa Rica. It resembles an intermediate between the margay and Geoffroy’s cat.
Lumigny safari réserve is one of the few establishments in the world to house both species of oncille.
The species has been the subject of a European breeding program since 2004.
