The Andean cat is one of the rarest and least-known cats in the world.

Measuring up to two feet long, 14 inches high and between 8-13 pounds, the Andean cat is distinguished by its ash grey and yellowish-brown facial markings, InHabitat reports. The cat’s ears are rounded and stick up, while their long tails stretch 70% of their body length to help them balance on the mountainous Andes terrain.

According to Animalia, this elusive creature lives exclusively in the Andes Mountains and Patagonia steppe, where climates are harsh and food is scarce.
