🐈Geoffroy's cat

Leopardus geoffroyi (d'Orbigny & Gervais, 1844)

נמרון ג'ופרי (שם מדעי: Leopardus geoffroyi) הוא מין של חתול בר האנדמי לאזורי הדרום והמרכז של דרום אמריקה וגודלו כשל חתול הבית. למרות שהמין נפוץ יחסית באזורים רבים, הוא נחשב כמאוים על ידי איגוד השימור העולמי בעקבות החשש מהשינויים בקרקע באזורים המשמשים כבתי הגידול שלו. הנמרון נקרא על שמו של הזואולוג הצרפתי אטיין ז'ופרואה סנט-אילר.
