Meet the Cat Family! Latin America's Ocelot Lineage

Andean cats, Pampas cats, guignas, Geoffroy's cats, margays, little tiger cats/oncillas, and (yes) ocelots.

None of these New World cuties are as well known as the jaguar or puma, but each deserves recognition on its own terms as a beautiful group of little felines, occupying a special place in the wilds of Latin America (and, occasionally, in the US Southwest).

Sit back and meet these small spotted members of the cat family now!
