High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Andean Mountain Cat is a small wild cat. It is one of only two felids for which no subspecies have been classically described. Fewer than 2500 individuals are thought to exist. This cat is one of about two dozen small wild cats species found around the world. Unlike their larger cousins, such as lions and tigers, with millions of dollars dedicated to conservation efforts, small wild cats like the Andean Mountain Cat have not found a place in the hearts of the public, and conservation efforts exist on shoestring budgets in the thousands. Its habitat and appearance make it the small cat analog of the Snow Leopard, in that it lives around 3,500–4,800 m, well above the tree line, and only where there is water to support it. While it is about the size of a domestic cat, it appears larger because of its long tail and silvery-gray, striped and spotted long fur. The body length is about 60 cm, the tail length is 42 cm, the shoulder height is 36 cm and the body weight is 5.5 kg.
