The Kodkod lives in a very small population in the southwest side of
South America in Chile. They live in the countryside and wooded areas
in Patagonia and Chile.
It is the smallest American cat, weighing 5 lb. The ground color is a
greyish brown, with dense black spots all over. The spots often merge
into stripes, especially on its tail and back. They have large
claws and feet, which helps them to climb. They tend to spend a lot of
time in the trees.
The Kodkod eats mostly small mammals like rodents, as well as birds.
They are extremely rare, and very little is know about its habits.
