It’s Caturday! Meet the Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus)! Also known as the little tiger cat or tigrillo, it has a wide range across South America and parts of Central America, ranging from northern Costa Rica to northern Argentina. The wild feline is adaptable and lives in a variety of forest habitats. While it’s skilled at climbing trees, it prefers sticking to the ground. Its diet includes a variety of critters such as birds, lizards, and small mammals.

Meet the cape golden mole (Chrysochloris asiatica)! Despite the resemblance, this critter is not a true mole. Instead, scientists consider golden moles to be part of the superorder Afrotheria, which includes elephants, hyraxes, and manatees! True moles are part of the superorder Laurasiatheria. Weighing about 0.1 lbs (0.05 kg), the cape golden mole spends most of its time underground, inhabiting tunnels that can be 656 ft (200 m) long. It hunts insects and small invertebrates by sensing their vibrations beneath the surface.
