Geoffroy's cat is a pint-sized wild feline that roams the forests and grasslands of South America. About as big as a house cat, this little hunter thrives across much of the continent. Its healthy population means you might spot one if you're lucky in the right habitats.

  • Roughly the same size as a common pet cat.
  • Found throughout central and southern South America.
  • Not currently at risk of extinction.
