None of these New World cuties are as well known as the jaguar and puma, but each species deserves recognition on its own terms as a beautiful group of little felines, occupying a special place in the wilds of Latin America (and, occasionally, in the US Southwest).

I've been a science blogger at FlightToWonder.com since 2013 and am currently in the process of self-publishing a series of eBooks on the modern cat family.
My ultimate goal is to freelance full-time, writing earth-science articles and traditionally published books, as well as continue blogging.
