1:20 Pantanal cat (Leopardus braccatus)

There is a little confusion about the differences between three small south American cats: Pantanal cat, Colocolo and Pampas cat.
Some scientists think that they are different species while others think they are only one with these three different subspecies. There are additional problems considering that each one has itself multiple geographical variations in size and coloration, apart from the problem of frequent interbreed between them and with other species
For the Felidae Family Project  I am going to consider This three models:

PANTANAL CAT (Leopardus braccatus): the smallest and rarest from all of them.  I am going to choose the brown fur  variation with dark brown spots on the flanks. The replica should be close to 2.3 cm Head&Body plus 1.5 cm tail.
This is the best photo I could find, although I presume the color of the eyes is not real.

PAMPAS CAT (Leopardus pajeros): the biggest of tem. The replica head&body length will be 3.2 cm  and a relatively short tail of 1.5 cm. Probably I am going to choose the greyish pelage with distinct dark brown stripes on the legs and spots on the underparts, a plain tail (no clear rings), and at most indistinct dark lines on the flanks.
This photo will guide me:

COLOCOLO (Leopardus colocolo):  a spotted and striped cat slightly smaller than the Pampas Cat. The replica will be 3 cm Head&Body plus 2 cm tail.
I´ll will try to be guided by this photo :

Aaah, it's so tiny!!

Although those are taxons under discussion, it is so brave that you decided to work in them all. Those little wild felines are wonderful and quite unknown. I only was aware of one of them.
In this page, you can find a report of a Pantanal cat in Bolivia, don't be shocked, you'll find a picture of a dead one, though, there you can read a good description of it.

Interesting specie again :)

Thankyou Julie, Rogério and Andreas.

Many thanks Rogério for this sad but usefull link. I already had this other page about an equally sad incident in Paraguay.

Oh lovely and so tiny!! and I love the pose you chose for it, it's very natural

OK, this time not a picture but some draws that help seeing the specific markings of that subspecies.
Probably you already found it but I wanted to share anyway.

Again, what a nice little model

No doubts it is a Pantanal cat, we can make a report telling that a specimen was found in Spain. :)

Thanks Tarunyada, Cristophe and Rogėrio!!
