Geoffroy's cat
leopardus geoffroyi latin

Geoffroy's cats have been reported to live up to 14 years in captivity.

There is also a small hidden enclosure for Geoffroy's cat.

Genetic studies have shown that Geoffroy's cat is most closely related to the kodkod.

The breeding season for Geoffroy's cats lasts from October to March.

Along with the kodkod, the former members of Oncifelis were the colocolo and Geoffroy's cat.

Members of the Oncifelis were the Colocolo, Geoffroy's Cat and the Kodkod.

Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) is a wild cat native to the southern and central regions of South America.

Recently, Geoffroy's cat has been successfully bred with the domestic cat, resulting in the felid hybrid safari cat.

Unusual among cats, Geoffroy's cats have been observed to stand up on their hind legs to scan the surrounding landscape, using their tail as a support.

Geoffroy's cats inhabit the Andes, Pampas (scrubby forest parts), and Gran Chaco landscape.

The scientist lent his name to the Geoffroy's Cat (Leopardus geoffroyi), the most - and least protected - wild cat in South America.

The Hornbill Hill aviaries, Geoffroy's cat enclosure and part of the Medellin Monkeys exhibit have all been demolished to make way for the new sun bear enclosure.

The ocelot's genus Leopardus consists of nine species similar to the ocelot, such as Geoffroy's cat and the margay, which are also endemic to South and Central America.

Geoffroy's cat is nocturnal, and preys primarily on rodents, hares, small lizards, insects, and occasionally frogs and fish; it is at the top of the food chain in its range.

Like most other small cats, the Colocolo was formerly included in the genus Felis, but together with the Geoffroy's Cat and Kodkod some have placed it in Oncifelis instead.

These variants were absent in melanistic individuals of Geoffroy's cat, oncilla, pampas cat and Asian golden cat, suggesting that melanism arose independently at least four times in the cat family.

The enclosures just outside of Heart of the Amazon were previously home to both black and brown bears but currently house one of the zoo's Geoffroy's cats and the troop of yellow-breasted capuchins.

Hybridization of the oncilla with the Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) has been found in the southernmost part of its range; hybridization with the pampas cat (Leopardus pajeros) has also been found in central Brazil.

He collects animals by purchasing pets from locals in the town he is based near initially, including a Red-fronted Tucuman amazon named Blanco, yellow fronted amazon parrots, Grey-necked Guans an Armadillo and a Geoffroy's Cat kitten.

This divergence was lower than that found within the Geoffroy's Cat (approximately 2 mya) or Oncilla (approximately 3.7 mya; this very high divergence -far higher than other species in the genus- has resulted in some suggesting more than one species is involved in the Oncilla).

Other inhabitants of the park include over a hundred bird species, capybara, and the also endangered Leopardus geoffroyi.
