This little female is known to researchers

as Gyra.

She's tiny, weighing a mere two pounds - 200

times less than a lion.

She'd be almost impossible to find, but she's

being tracked with a radio collar.

And using surveillance cameras that rival

a cat's night-vision, we can, at last, reveal

her nocturnal pursuits.

She can walk 20 miles a night in search of

food, the farthest recorded for any small cat.

Guided by superb night vision and responding

to the smallest of sounds, she finds almost

anything that moves is a potential meal.

She'll even eat locusts, but she prefers gerbils.

Or if that doesn't work - birds!

With a wiggle to tuck her legs in, she gets

as low to the ground as possible.

Primed like a spring, she can deliver maximum

power to jump.

She hits her target 60 percent of the time.

It's what makes black-footed cats the most

lethal hunters in the entire cat family.
