Sleek as a shadow, the jaguarundi moves like liquid through the trees. This small wild cat hunts by day, chirps like a bird, and comes in two coats: cool slate gray and warm cinnamon. From South Texas to the Amazon’s edges, it slips along rivers and thickets where a rustle could mean breakfast. Sightings are rare as habitat disappears, which makes this silhouette unforgettable once you learn it. Would you have clocked it as a cat at first glance?
