The jaguarundi is a small wild cat. It is native to southern North America and South America. This medium-sized cat has a slender build and uniform coloration. It differs significantly from other small neotropical cats because it has 38 chromosomes instead of 36.

This animal looks like otters and weasels. It features an elongated body, relatively short legs, and a small, narrow head. The cat has small, round ears, a short snout, and a long muscular tail. It is around twice as large as a domestic cat. It stands nearly 14 inches on the shoulder and weighs 7.7 to 15.4 pounds.

The jaguarundi eats small rodents, birds, reptiles, and frogs. It also eats insects and occasionally catches small fish in shallow pools. This wildcat hunts primarily during the day instead of at night. It searches for prey on the ground rather than climbing trees. The agile predator stalks through low brush and rushes forward quickly to grab its target.
