Small Wild Cat Conservation
There are 37 species of wild cat in the world today. Most people are aware of the big five - tiger, lion, leopard,
jaguar and cheetah. Many are familiar with the medium felines - snow leopard and cougar, or mountain lion. This website is about the
remaining 30 small wild cat species from the clouded leopard to the black footed cat, the world's smallest wild cat.

The joys of field research never end. In search of a tiny black footed cat, the researchers often have to dig them out of aardvark burrows. Photo from Dr. Alex Sliwa (the body on the ground)! More photos here.
