Andean Cat
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Andean Cat (Oreailurus jacobita) is also known as the Andean Mountain Cat. Its habitat and appearance make it the small cat analogue of the snow leopard. While it is only about the size of a domestic cat, it appears larger because of its long tail and silvery-gray, striped and spotted long fur. It is one of the least known and rarest of all felines; almost all that is known about it comes from a few observations in the wild and from skins. There are none in captivity. It is believed to live only in the high Andes mountains of Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Argentina. They have been sighted at elevations of 5,100 meters, well above the tree line.
Since they live only in the high mountains, human-inhabited valleys act as barriers, fragmenting the population, meaning that even low levels of poaching could be devastating. They are often killed in Chile and Bolivia because of local superstition.
Conservation International (CI) ecologist Jim Sanderson, has been studying them. He sighted and photographed one in Chile, in 1998, near Chile's northern border with Peru. Later, in 2004, he located and radio-collared one in Bolivia. Lilian Villalba of the Andean Cat Alliance is conducting a major research program, including radio-telemetry studies, from 2001 to 2006 in the Khastor region of southern Bolivia.
