p-wc82-tigrina

Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), also known as the Little Spotted Cat, Tigrillo, Cunaguaro or Tiger Cat, is a close relative of the Ocelot and the Margay; its habitat is the tropical rainforests of Central and South America. The Oncilla is a nocturnal animal, which hunts for rodents and birds. The Oncilla grows to be about 40-50 cm (18" to 2') long, plus 30-40 cm (10-20") long in the tail. While this is somewhat larger than the average Domestic Cat, Leopardus tigrinus is slightly lighter, weighing 2-3 kg (5-10 lbs.), less than a standard domestic cat.
