Description
The Jaguarundi is a very usual cat, with a long slender body, shorter legs and a small, flattened head with short, rounded ears, the cat is often described as having a weasel-like appearance.
Sometimes referred to as the ‘otter-cat’, the Jaguarundi is closely related to the puma.
One of the smaller New World cat species, they are about twice the size of a small house cat. Jaguarundis are unusual as they do not have spots, unlike most other South American small cats.
Jaguarundis are very elusive animals and there is still a lot to be learnt about the cats.
Population numbers of the Jaguarundi are much less than once thought. Their shy nature makes it even more difficult to estimate their current population size.
They have some of the most variable colourations of wildcats with two main groups: a dark morph which ranges from black, brownish and greys and a paler red morph ranging from tawny yellow to a bright chestnut red.
For many years, it was thought the two morphs were separate species but it is now known both colours can occur from the same litter.
Generally, it seems the darker morph is more common in rainforest habitats and the paler morph in drier environments.
Different from many cats, the Jaguarundi tends to be most active during daytime rather than dawn or dusk.
Jaguarundis are very vocal cats, with at least 13 distinct calls, ranging from a chirp, purr, whistle or even a scream (onekindplanet.org).
