abstract
  • The black-footed cat is a member of the genus Felis. The species was first described by English naturalist William John Burchell in his 1824 publication Travels in the Interior of Southern Africa. Two subspecies have been nominated: * F. n. nigripes Burchell, 1824 : Found in Namibia, Botswana, Mpumalanga, Gauteng, Northwest Province and Northern Cape. * F. n. thomasi Shortridge, 1931 : Found in Eastern Cape, KwaZulu-Natal, Free State and Lesotho. According to Shortridge's description, F. n. nigripes is smaller and paler than F. n. thomasi, but since specimens with characteristics of both assumed subspecies are found close to Kimberley in central South Africa, the existence of subspecies is questioned, as no geographical or ecological barriers to their ranges occur.
