Utah’s Hogle Zoo

Meet our newest resident, Gaia, the black-footed cat! 🐾 At just 8 months old, she is small in size but large in her feisty personality.

Gaia comes to us on a breeding recommendation from the Black-Footed Cat Consortium. Her arrival marks an important step in the conservation of her species; with only 29 black-footed cats in the Consortium, successful breeding could significantly contribute to the program. Gaia’s introduction to Ryder, the male black-footed cat, is in the cards, but we’ll let these two feline friends get acquainted when Gaia reaches maturity.

Black-footed cats, the smallest species of wild cat in Africa, can be found in the arid eastern parts of Namibia, Central and Southern Botswana, and South Africa. Its name is derived from having black or dark brown soles or pads. Predominantly nocturnal, its status in the wild is often challenging due to its shyness and preference for nighttime activity.

As Gaia settles into her new home in the Small Animal Building, you might notice curtains or barriers around her space. We appreciate your help in keeping noise low while she gets acquainted.

Welcome, Gaia! 🤍

Many people asked what the face of the black-footed cat looked like (featured in my #Caturday post). But like most cats, when you want a good photo of their face, this is about all they give you. #AninalFact: Weighing an average of 3 to 4.5 pounds and only 9 to 10 inches high at the shoulder, the #BlackFootedCat is sometimes called the smallest of the African cats. One more #FunFact: Their common name comes from the under parts of the foot and foot pads being black. . . . . . #WildlifeConservation #TheMoreYouKnow #ConservationResearch #EndExtinction #SavingSpecies #SanDiegoZoo #SafariPark #cuteface #Zookeeper #wildcat #WildlifeEducation #animallovers #WildlifeAddict #Wildlife_vision #splendid_animals #wildlifefriend #ig_shotz_animals #ig_wildlife (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvITVJ7l7iX/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=77pzkvjdvpip

Lindo de matar! "Apresento-vos o felino mais LETAL do mundo, o Gato de Patas Negras (Felis nigripes). É o felino mais pequeno de África e o seu nome deve-se às almofadas das suas patas que têm uma cor negra ou um tom acastanhado mais escuro. Se contarmos com o comprimento da cauda, tem apenas 58-70 centímetros de comprimento e pesam entre 1,60-2,45 kg no caso dos machos; no caso das fêmeas, elas são ligeiramente menores com 49-54 centímetros de comprimento e pesam cerca de 1,10-,1,65 kg. São endémicos do Sul do Continente Africano: África do Sul, Botswana, Nabimia, Zimbabwe e possivelmente algumas áreas do Sul de Angola. Estas regiões tem savanas e regiões semi-desérticas do qual a Erva e a restante vegetação são na sua maioria muito curta. São animais solitários e de hábitos noturnos. Devido ao corpo entroncado e cauda curta, esta espécie não é das mais habilidosas no que toca a trepar às árvores. As fêmeas dão à luz apenas um ou dois filhotes, do qual por volta dos dois meses são desmamados, aos quatro meses tornam-se independentes e atingem a maturidade sexual entre 1-2 anos. Mas então porque é que este animal adorável é considerado o felino mais LETAL do mundo? Acontece que este Gato tem um metabolismo bastante acelerado, do qual requer que ele esteja constantemente a caçar as presas e numa noite é capaz de matar cerca de 14 aves/roedores/répteis, saltar até 1,40 metros de altura e tem uma taxa de sucesso de 60%. Ou seja, isto torna o Gato de Patas Negras muito mais bem sucedido do que a Chita, o Leopardo e todos os outros grandes Felinos! De facto, as populações locais chamam-lhe "miershooptier" que significa Tigre dos Montículos de Térmitas, uma referência ao seu comportamento agressivo. Os seus maiores predadores naturais são os Chacais e os Caracais. Está classificado como uma espécie Vulnerável devido ao seu habitat restrito, a caça pelas suas presas, atropelamentos e são presa para os cães e gatos vadios.

The #blackfootedcat is 3x more successful at catching prey than a lion.

Cute But Deadly! The Black-Footed Cat - Small But Deadly Here’s more about this ferocious little cat: “The black-footed cat (Felis nigripes), also called small-spotted cat, is the smallest African cat and endemic to the southwestern arid zone of Southern Africa. It is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List since 2002, as the population is suspected to decline due to bushmeat poaching, persecution, traffic accidents and predation by domestic animals.” - Wikipedia ・・・ #WildCat #BlackFootedCat #AfricanCat #AfricanWildCat #DeadlyCat #SmallWildCats https://www.instagram.com/p/ByMVDrkABYw/?igshid=m84vyh8mqsfj

#myfavoritekiller - #blackfootedcat - #LittleSpooktember 😾😾😾 September has been a crazy good month, but unfortunately, this will be my last #Spooktember piece. Nevertheless, may I present the Black-Footed Cat. 😼😼😼 #FunFact - Because Black-Footed Cats live apart from water, they meet their liquid requirements through the body fluids of their prey, given them a reputation as a #vampirecat. 😺😺😺 Have a great weekend, y'all! See you in October! 😸😸😸 #cat #ArtChallenge #digitalartist #digitalart #digitalillustration #digitalillustrator #cute #spooktember2018 #ArtChallenges #smallspottedcat #junglecat #killercat #kitten #felinefriday #feline https://www.instagram.com/p/BoRt9yuB2kZ/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=x1l2ot777s1b

Little kitty, big bone! Black-footed #cats are agile hunters, quite capable of catching prey much larger than themselves. #blackfootedcat #cat #catsofinstagram #wildlysurprising http://bit.ly/2Wk2Rd8
