10 Rare Wild Cats More Beautiful Than Lions

There are 38 species of cats on the planet. You’re most likely familiar with the more majestic apex predators like lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, and cheetahs, or the more commonly found domestic cats, but did you know there are a few rare wild felines that are just as beautiful and probably more unique than all the ‘popular’ members of their family? There are species of cats out there that love swimming, and some can even survive in deserts! Unfortunately, many of these rare species are endangered animals, and you’d only find them in highly selective areas in the world.

Iberian Lynx
The Iberian lynx is a heavily-spotted wild cat species found in the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe and is considered one of the rarest species of lynx on earth. Unfortunately, though, it’s also the world’s most endangered feline species. The cat weighs around half as much as the Eurasian species, with long legs and a very short tail with a black tip.
You can recognize this cat thanks to the distinct “beard” around its face along with the prominent black ear tufts. The Iberian lynx hunts rabbits, ducks, young deers, and partridges for food. An adult lynx usually needs about one rabbit a day, but a mother raising her young ones may need up to three rabbits every day! Thanks to conservation measures in recent years, its population has inched above 400 despite multiple threats.
Pampas Cat
The Pampas is an adorable, small wild cat native to South America. However, it appears different from the other South American cats and instead resembles the European Wild Cat more. Its looks also vary depending on the region; in the high Andes, the cat is gray-colored with reddish stripes broken up into spots, resembling the Andes Mountain Cat.
On the other hand, in Argentina, the coat is longer, more of a yellow-brown color with a muted pattern. Their habitat generally includes open grasslands and humid forests, while their diet consists of small mammals, including guinea pigs, penguins, and chickens. They’re also terrestrial and primarily nocturnal. The Pampas Cat is pretty rare; The International Species Information Service lists four worldwide, with three being in the US.
