Feature Creature Jaguarundi

The jaguarundi, is a small wild cat native to the Americas. It has a sleek, elongated body and a relatively short tail, the jaguarundi displays a unique appearance among felids. Its fur varies in color, ranging from gray and reddish-brown to dark brown, allowing it to blend seamlessly into diverse environments such as forests, swamps, and grasslands. With a habitat stretching from southern Texas to South America, this adaptable feline is known for its elusive nature and exceptional agility. They are also good hunters; their diet consists of small mammals, birds and reptiles. If problems like deforestation continue the jagurundi’s food pattern might change because animals like birds would have to fly away and find new homes. Birds are also their main food source.
