The jaguarundi is a small wild cat with a long body, short legs, and flat head. It lives in Central and South America and comes in two main colors — gray or reddish-brown.
The jaguarundi differs from other cats with its long body and solid-colored fur without spots. It helps maintain balance in nature by hunting rodents and other small animals.
