| Kodkod: guigna or pampas cat? | |
| 2010 Cat News (52): 25-26 | |
The common name kodkod is sometimes used in place of the common name guigna (gween-ya) when referring to _Leopardus guigna_. In the region where the guigna occurs, most Argentineans and Chileans use the term hui¤a (ween-ya); the term kodkod is never used. This curious fact begs the question: what is the origin of the term kodkod and what wild cat does it refer to? |
