A far-ranging feline, Geoffrey's cat can be found anywhere from the pampas and dusty savannas of the Gran Chaco to 12,500 feet above sea level in the Andes mountains. Fun fact: Geoffrey's cats sometimes stands on their hind legs to peer over tall grass, propping their small bodies up with their fluffy tails, a unusal behavior for a cat.
Geoffroy’s cat was named after Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, a 19th-century French naturalist known for expanding upon Jean-Baptiste Lamarck's evolutionary theories. Three other animals bear his name: a tamarin, a spider monkey, and a bat.
