An albino wild felid (first one ever recorded in the country apparently) has arrived from a rural part of Colombia. DNA testing is yet to come back but it's believed to be a jaguarundi. The young kitten will live out its days at the zoo: El Parque de la Conservación recibió a su nueva inquilina: la felina albina
