Not assessedMammalcarnivore
The jaguarundi is a sleek, medium-sized wild cat found across the Americas, from Argentina to Mexico. With its elongated body, short legs, and long tail, it looks more like a weasel than a typical cat. It comes in two color variations: gray and red.
- It weighs between 3.5 to 7 kilograms, about twice the size of a house cat.
- Its body is slender, with a small, narrow head and round ears.
- It once lived in southern Texas but is no longer found in the U.S.
