Thank you for your information. I’ll add that prey item to their list of hunted critters.

Our Jaguarundi might be larger than most, because we have seen them hunt, kill, and eat a yearling White Tail Deer …not a drop of blood was spilled.
Apparently, our Jaguarundi are highly proficient at lightening fast neck breaking.
(which is good news for it’s prey.)

Since I built a home on this river basin, I’ve seen 3 adults…one was a female with a litter of 3 cubs. The males looked like mini-Mountain Lions with Otter faces. The female was much darker and more spotted in a Jaguar pattern, and the cubs looked exactly like little Lion cubs.
Fascinating Cat!! And So Worth Saving!
