Was it harder than you thought?  I think so! Who knew there were so many furry kitties out there?  Well… these cats are quite adorable from a distance.  These cats all have a different fur coat, but they have something in common as well.  They are all endangered!!!  These cats are endangered due to their home habitats being chopped down and because poachers are hunting them for their soft coats.

Hopefully, this little quiz will help you know which animals are which next time you venture over to the Zoo.  Also, you can see that faux “cheetah print” cloth is not always cheetah print!  You are not the only one who gets their prints mixed up!  Finally, you can increase their habitats by going green in your own life and not supporting the purchase of real fur!

Answers: 1. Malayan Tiger-F ;  2.Cheetah-B;  3.Jaguar-E ;  4.Clouded Leopar-A;  5. Margay-D ; and 6.Ocelot-C.
