Same here. Also from deep in S America (Tierro del Fuego I think), Geoffrey’s Cat, which the local zoo used to have on exhibit (haven’t been there in a while). They also used to have a Nile (Delta) Cat, which was in the herpetarium, think it’s long gone.

Looks like this blackfooted kind is a recent addition to the Philadelphia Zoo if anyone is close:

I had not heard of the Geoffroy’s cat prior. Here is info from Wiki. He looks a little like the Kodkod.

I’ll have to check out the Nile cat next. Thanks.
