Zoo-EV — 40 Wild Cats. One World.
A framework for discovery

40 cats.
A living science.

Zoo-EV uses a stable public framework to introduce the wild-cat family. Scientists continue to study where species boundaries belong.

Why can different sources give different totals?

Evidence and taxonomic treatments can split or combine groups. Zoo-EV explains those differences without silently changing its public roster.

Where is the Clouded Tiger Cat?

Clouded Tiger Cat (Leopardus pardinoides) is tracked separately as ZEW-001, Taxonomy Watch. It is outside the public 40 and never a forty-first discovery tile.
