	Jaguarundi
		Misc.: While Jaguarundis are not native to the south-eastern United States, it is believed that a feral population exists in Florida, established from an introduced populationof escaped pets in the 1940’s.
		Jaguarundis are one of the only felines to not have contrasting colors on the backs of their ears.
		For the jaguarundi, tigrina, and Geoffroy's cat, these recommendations were made because of limited space available, the limited number of founders in these populations, and limited potential for acquiring additional founders.

		The jaguarundi (Herpailurus yaguarondi) has a distinct appearance that is very weasel-like, with an elongated slender body, short legs, long, tapered tail and sleek unpatterned fur.
		The jaguarundi is most commonly found in the lowlands, occupying a broad range of both open and closed habitats.
		Today, the greatest threats to jaguarundi populations are deforestation, development and habitat fragmentation, which are affecting the jaguarundis’ prey base and fragmenting the cat’s population into more isolated pockets.

		In summary, examination of the 13 jaguarundi stomachs revealed the folowing prey (frequency of occurrence): mammals - 6/13 stomachs (46 percent), birds - 7/13 (54 percent), reptiles - 6/13 (46 percent), grass - 5/13 (38 percent).
		Jaguarundi fur is not valuable on the fur market and thus receives little hunting pressure (01,21) or commercial exploitation (24).

	BWG Mission
		Although BWG is concerned with all bordercats, currently the group is focused on improving the long-term health and recovery of three endangered species, the jaguar, jaguarundi, and ocelot in the border regions of the USA, including areas in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and adjacent Mexican states of Coahuila, Chihuahua, Nuevo Leon, Sonora, and Tamaulipas.
		We are specifically interested in identifying the northernmost breeding populations of ocelots, jaguarundis, and jaguars and measuring the frequency and distance of dispersal events away from this core.
		Melissa Grigione, Diana Lawhorn and Paul Polechla have reviewed cat literature to determine the minimal size requirements for populations of ocelots, jaguarundis, and jaguars and what kind of habitat types and prey species are suitable for each of the species across their range.

		Although its eyes, nose and ears are cat-like, the jaguarundi would utterly confuse you if you merely glimpsed its small round (not very cat-like) head and its long slender body supported by short stocky legs (quite out of proportion for a cat), and with its long thin otter-like tail.
		The jaguarundi is in the dark, and maybe that is a good thing, but few people even know it is there, and that is part of the problem.
		Farmers shoot jaguarundi when they eat their chickens, but instead of shooting them, a farmer could make a loud noise and scare off the jaguarundi, or better yet, I think stores should only sell chicken coops that are jaguarundi-proof.

		Jaguarundi are the strangest looking of all the small cats, with slender, elongated bodies, small flattened heads, and a long tail more reminiscent of an otter or weasel than a cat.
		These cats are reported to be quite easy to tame, and are said to have been kept as pets by early Central American natives (before the Spanish conquistadors came) to control the rodent populations around villages and crops.
		They appear to be relatively common over much of their range, but jaguarundi are quite rare in Mexico and Central America.

	CSG Species Accounts: Jaguarundi (Herpailurus yaguarondi)
		It has been suggested that the jaguarundi prefers to hunt ground-dwelling birds rather than mammals (Gaumer 1917, Leopold 1959, Hall and Dalquest 1963), and analysis of 23 stomachs from Venezuela (Mondolfi 1986, Bisbal 1986) shows that birds are frequently caught (found in 54-70% of the stomachs).
		Jaguarundis have been reported to prefer forest edges and secondary brush communities (Bourlière 1955, Mondolfi 1986), but this may be because it is in such areas that these primarily diurnal cats are most frequently seen.
		Generally not exploited for commercial trade, although jaguarundis are doubtless caught in traps set for commercially valuable species and may be subject to low intensity hunting pressure around settled areas.

		In Texas, the jaguarundi never was common, apparently confined to the southernmost four counties of Cameron, Willacy, Hidalgo and Starr (01,15).
		However, since it appears that jaguarundis are suffering from the same loss of habitat in Texas as ocelots, they would benefit from the same habitat preservation and enhancement as proposed for ocelot recovery.
		If jaguarundi are trapped, telemetry studies should be implemented to determine activity patterns and habitat usages.
