Baby Black-Footed Cat

You should never underestimate the black-footed cat, no matter how adorable it is! Also known as a small-spotted cat, this beautiful munchkin is the tiniest wild cat in all of Africa. Its name comes from, as you probably guessed, its dark brown or black paws. Its wonderfully colored fur allows the black-footed cat to easily camouflage into the sunny environments that it hunts and sleeps in. Moonlit nights are its preferred conditions for hunting, where it will easily catch and eat around 14 tiny critters nightly. Its diet extends up to 40 individual vertebrates.

Baby Eastern Quoll

If the other amazing animals on this list endemic to Australia were not reason enough to convince you to book a ticket to Australia in the near future, the eastern quoll might just be the straw that broke the camel’s back. These cats are native to the Downunder, which includes Tasmania where they are amazingly popular and broadly found. It was formerly believed that quolls were extinct within the mainland, but they were later brought in 2016 to secure sanctuaries. It was in March 2018 that they were released into the wild. Their black-and-white, polka dot fur separates them from similar medium-sized carnivores.
