Jaguarundi


Jaguarundi

Felis yagouaroundi tolteca

The jaguarundi is a relatively small cat whose weight is from sixteen to twenty pounds. Their small head, short ears, and long body have given the jaguarundi the nickname "otter cat." Unlike the jaguar and ocelot, the jaguarundi has a solid coat color ranging from dark brown to a reddish chestnut color. It can be found in tropical rainforests, savannah grasslands, and dense thorn scrub. It is usually associated with thick undercover and running water.
