The feline of which its race is still unknown, the researchers have two theories for the race of the feline between jaguar and ocelot. The curious individual who is now a juvenile, is 8 months old and weighs 8.4 kilograms, entered the conservation park and has received medical-veterinary care. Habitat is adapted according to their needs, which is equipped with medium lighting, since the feline, due to her condition of albinism, suffers from photosensitivity and due to her visual deficiency. Currently, the animal has shown an important adaptation developing all its natural hunting behavior. Normally it is the mother who teaches these animals to hunt, but in the Conservation Park there has been an enrichment and she, in a natural way, has developed all this behavior, taking into account that the Albino Feline will never be able to return to its natural habitat. , since his conditions including partial blindness and white skin color do not allow him to blend in with the natural environment, this prevents him from being able to hunt easily and not be hunted by other animals.
