Jaguarundi — size comparison — facts and sources

The jaguarundi uses forests, scrub and more open landscapes where adequate cover remains. Nearby water is often important.

It hunts chiefly small animals, including mammals, birds and reptiles, seeking prey while moving near the ground. Diet differs between populations.

Compared with many cats it is often active by day. It may occur alone or in pairs but remains secretive. Its uniformly coloured coat may be dark or reddish.
