Little spotted cats are an
endangered species. The scientific name for Little spotted cats are Leopardus
tigrinus. The way that a little spotted cat looks like is that their fur are
pretty much tan (some white) with black spots and black rings on the end of
their tails; they somewhat look like a cheetah. Adults weigh only 4 to 8 ib and
can only reach up to 25.5 inches long.
Little spotted cats were solitary animals
(they are usually are found alone). This endangered species were known as
predators. Little spotted cats are carnivores, hey usually eat small rodents,
birds, insects, and reptiles; some little spotted cats even eat little monkeys
in Brazil. Little spotted cats are usually asleep all night and active day.
This endangered species can be found
in South America; mostly seen in scrubs in northeastern Brazil and forests in Venezuela.
Little spotted cats’ natural habitats are humid evergreen and mountain cloud
forests. They like to live in sunny/ rainy places so that it can be easier for
them to survive. What happens if they can’t find food where they live?
This endangered species’ original habitat is
the forest. Little spotted cats were mostly in Brazil. How many little spotted
cat s were there before? Why don’t they just keep the rest in captivity?
A reason why little spotted cats are
starting to go endangered is because people started destroying the forest so
now they don’t have a place to live or they don’t know how their going to get
their food. Another reason why they’re going endangered is because people are
hunting them down for their fur. Now there’s a law that doesn’t allow people to
hunt little spotted cats in some countries.
