Leopardus tigrinus
One of the 6 species of cats found in Costa Rica. Very Rare and seldom seen. Size of a house cat.
beautiful!
cute!
I did see one in my garden, got the flash light and camera but all I've got was 2 beautiful shiny eyes. (white, grey spots, cat size.)
What a great spotting of this ocelot baby! I have only seen them in a sanctuary and hope one day to see one in the wild. They are so beautiful and that has made them a target for the fur trade so that they are a threatened species in many places.
