We just learned about the Pampas Cat.
Another type of wild cat is the Andean Mountain Cat.
This is a small cat that lives in the Andes mountains, and is endangered with less than 2,500 left in the world.
It lives up in the mountains, up above 5,900 feet!
They are about 3 feet long, one foot tall and weigh about 12 pounds.
Their fur is grey with some spots, and they have dark rings on their tails.
These cats look a lot like the Pampas Cat, and a lot of people mistake them.
There are a lot of very small differences that people can use to tell them apart, but they really have to know the differences!
