Patagonian Geoffroy's Cat (Leopardus geoffroyi geoffroyi)

Thank you! What other sub-species are there?

There are four in total:

Leopardus geoffroyi geoffroyi - Patagonian
L.g. euxanthus - Bolivian
L.g. paraguae - Paraguayan
L.g. salinarum - Chacoan

To my knowledge, there are a small handful of Patagonian around in Europe, and a single Paraguayan, but the majority of animals are Chacoan.

Which other collections have them? Thanks

Unknown subspecific status Leopardus geoffroyi

Any of the animals at the below collections may belong to one of the following pure subspecies, or may be subspecific hybrids.

Aschersleben Zoo
Tierpark Bad Kösen
Zoo Koln
Bellewaerde
Zoo Jihlava
Zoo Usti
Le Parc des Felins
Zoo Pont-Scorff
Zoo Krakow
Zoo Warsaw
Ogród Zoologiczny
Bojnice Zoo
Isle of Wight Zoo

Leopardus geoffroyi geoffroyi

Banham and Colchester are the only collections I know for sure hold this subspecies, although I imagine there are other animals scattered around Europe among those collections noted above.

Leopardus geoffroyi paraguae

I believe the only collection with this subspecies is Dudley, which holds a single extremely geriatric animal. However, the same caveat about collections with animals whose identity I am unsure about applies.

Leopardus geoffroyi salinarum

This subspecies is the most common within European collections. To my knowledge, the following collections certainly hold the taxon:

Zoo der Minis Aue
Tierpark Berlin
Tier-und-Freizeitpark Thüle
Karlsruhe Zoo
Opel-Zoo
Zoologischer Garten Wuppertal
Zoo Ostrava
Spaycific'Zoo
Dierenpark Amersfoort

Thank you!

Sorry, but do you also happen to know what collections house these species as well?

- Black Footed Cat
- African Wild Cat
- Flat-headed Cat

For Europe Zootierliste may help:

(Black footed and flat headed, none. African wild cat: Novosibirsk zoo, Howletts and Dubai zoo)

Thank you! Yes I've used zootierliste before, was thinking of collections outside Europe for those cats though!
