Little-known cat lures prey by crying like a baby monkey
“The behavior was first witnessed back in 2005 when Wildlife Conservation Society researchers were following a group of pied tamarins — tiny monkeys the size of squirrels — through the Amazon rain forest. While the monkeys were feeding, both the tamarins and the researchers suddenly became alerted to what sounded like baby tamarin distress calls.
That’s when surprised researchers saw what was hidden from the adult tamarins: a hungry margay lurking in the branches. The cat was actually mimicking the language of baby tamarins to lure the adults in closer.”

The king cheetah is a rare mutation of cheetah characterized by a distinct fur pattern. It was first noted in what was then Southern Rhodesia (modern-day Zimbabwe) in 1926. Since 1927, the king cheetah was reported five more times in the wild. Although strangely marked skins had come from Africa, a live king cheetah was not photographed until 1974 in South Africa’s Kruger National Park. Its species status was resolved in 1981 when king cheetahs were born at the De Wildt Cheetah and Wildlife Centre in South Africa. A recessive gene must be inherited from both parents for this pattern to appear, which is one reason why it is so rare. (Wiki.)
