Leopardus guigna (Molina, 1782)

코드코드(kodkod, 학명: Leopardus guigna)는 아메리카 대륙에서 서식하는 가장 작은 고양이이다. 주로 칠레 중부와 남부 지역 그리고 아르헨티나 외곽 가장자리에 서식한다. 다른 남아메리카 고양이류와 비교하여 분포 지역이 가장 작다. 2002년 국제 자연 보전 연맹(IUCN)이 코드코드가 서식지와 먹이의 감소 그리고 위협을 받고 있고, 유효 개체군 크기가 번식 가능한 1,000마리 이상의 부차 집단을 갖고 있지 않으며, 전체 유효 개체군 크기가 10,000마리 이하로 추정되고 감소 추세에 있기 때문에 취약종(VU, Vulnerable species)으로 지정 분류했다. 2022년 7월, 파타고니아 출신의 매우 희귀한 고양이 검은 코드(Kodkod)가 처음으로 카메라에 잡혔다.
