Tabu
#Oncilla #Tigrello #NorthernTigerCat
Leopardus tigrinus

Rare in captivity, with only 2 in Costa Rica. Tabu arrived as an orphaned kitten, likely taken from the wild/kept as a pet. He surprised me by coming close #oncilla #beautiful #wildcat #photography #costarica #smallcats #Leopardustigrinus

A visually striking, six-panel collage of modern wild cats, arranged in a 4:5 portrait ratio with two rows and three columns. Row 1: 1. Black-footed Cat (left): A small cat with a spotted and striped coat, sitting on a log, looking directly at the viewer. Its eyes are green. 2. Lynx (center): A medium-sized cat with tufted ears and a grayish-brown coat, walking forward through the snow, with a serious expression. 3. Cheetah (right): A tall, slender cat with a spotted golden coat, walking down a dirt path, its black-ringed tail held high. Row 2: 4. Puma / Cougar (left): A large, tawny brown cat poised on a rocky outcrop, looking intently forward. 5. Tiger (center): A massive cat with a distinctive black-striped orange coat, sitting upright in a forest environment with trees in the background. 6. Lion (right): A large male lion with a full, dark mane, standing regally on a rock, looking directly at the viewer from a dark, dramatic setting. The overall style is realistic and naturalistic, showcasing the size and habitat diversity of the Felidae family.

The other branch from Proailurus led to Styriofelis (stir-ee-oh-FEE-lis), ancestor of all modern cats (Felinae + Pantherinae).

This lineage adapted and diversified into the 38+ wild cats alive today. 🐾
