Jaguarundi


We just learned about the Cougar.

Another type of wild cat is the Jaguarundi, also called the eyra.

This is a wild cat, but it is just a little bigger than most normal house cat pets!
It is usually about 2 1/2 feet long, and weighs about 20 pounds.

These jaguarundi have fur that can be black or brown or even red.

They live in South America and parts of Mexico, and are usually very shy.
For food they will eat birds, mice or snakes, and they live in the grasslands.
