Cute Zoo Pics Part 7

An Ojos Azules - 'Ojos Azules' means 'blue eyes' in Spanish, and these cats are renowned for their deep blue eyes, which contrast with the myriad of coat colours for which you wouldn't normally expect to see blue eyes in cats. The history of the breed only goes back as far as 1984 to New Mexico, USA, where it was discovered that some felines in feral cat populations roaming in the area had deep-seated eyes that were a shade of the darkest blue. They rescued a female cat with tortoiseshell markings and named her 'Cornflower'. She became the matriarch of the breed. When bred to unrelated males, Cornflower's kittens exhibited the same intense blue eyes, thereby proving that the trait was a dominant one.

A Black-footed Cat - also known as the 'small-spotted cat', they are the smallest wild cat species in the world. The adult males weigh just over 4 pounds and the adult females weigh just under 3 pounds. They are mostly found in the southwestern arid zone of the southern African subregion (South Africa, Namibia, Zimbabwe, and Angola). Sadly, their numbers have been in sharp decline due to bushmeat poaching.
