Although it looks a lot like a house cat, this feline is actually an elusive Bolivian species called the oncilla. This photo, which just won BBC Wildlife's camera-trap photo competition, was taken in Madidi National Park and was the first documentation of the cat's presence here. Capturing it on film brings the park's confirmed cat species to six.
