HAVE YOU SEEN A BLACK-FOOTED CAT?
Small-spotted cat - Miershooptier - Felis nigripes
Nocturnal, shy and rarely seen, this unique wild cat species is often misidentified as an African wildcat or small-spotted genet.
Unique features include: 1/3 size of housecat, large head and prominent ears, spotted coat pattern, short tail and crouching gait. Bright blueish eyes shine close to ground at night.
We need your help to collect distribution records across its range.
Please fill out the online survey [QR in poster attached] and please send any images/ videos to [email protected].
