Colocolo, Leopardus colocolo Molina 1782

The next felid up should have been L. braccatus Cope 1889. Unfortunately I have was unable to find a good picture of the species. In any case, until recently, it was held to be a subspecies of the colocolo.

The Colocolo is a small cat, only weighing 3 to 7 kg on average. It is near threatened according to the IUCN.
