On the fourth day of our honeymoon, we did nothing dangerous or adventurous... but we did encounter one of the coolest animals on our trip... a rare and almost extinct baby Oncilla.
This Oncilla was brought to the property as a kitten in a cage. One of the local residents, an ex-pat who lives on the property, rescued the animal and has been feeding it raw chicken. As a result, the cat is semi-tame. They are currently reducing its chicken rations, forcing the cat to hunt for food and no longer just for fun. In another month or two, this cat will probably return to the wild on her own.
In the meantime, though, she trailed us around the property... and even posed for a photo or two.
Here is a video of the Oncilla...
