Happy Caturday! Meet the margay (Leopardus wiedii). Also known as the long-tailed cat, this critter’s tail can grow up to 20 in (50.8 cm) long. It ranges from parts of Mexico to Argentina and lives in forests, where it spends much of its time in the tree canopy. It’s well-adapted for life above the ground, with flexible toes and wide paws. Joints in its ankle can rotate 180 degrees, making this cat North America’s only feline capable of climbing head first down trees. These traits come in handy when hunting for agile prey like birds, small mammals, and reptiles.

Hello, kitty.

The Tilcayo tiger cat is slender and spotted, with rounded ears. It's smaller than a typical house cat and lives in Bolivia.

The cat had been brought in by a man who had mistaken the cat for a domestic kitten, according to details recorded by the Senda Verde Wildlife Sanctuary.

He had fed the animal noodles, rice and eggs, only to realize it was wild and that he could not take care of it. So he brought it to the sanctuary where researchers were able to determine the wild cat was a new species.
