Near extinction in Texas. Apparently their heads look “otterish”. Weighing supposedly around 15lbs (7kg)
Sources I see say they are no longer in Texas, but a large healthy population in Mexico and South America
Were they killed off, or were they just smart enough to get the hell out of Texas?
Id guess killed off / habitats destroyed. What little i have read they were commonly misconceived as having a higher population than they do, as most cats are nocturnal and hunt mostly at night staying hidden during much of the day. The Jaguarundi are diurnal, and so they would be seen out and about throughout the day thus making people think we see them all the time, surely there is more. The world population may be as low as 35,000 according to estimates (up to 230k), while living across 4.5 million sq kilometers.

Slightly ferret-like… I wonder if they dig more than regular cats.
Medieval painters were having visions of the new world.

This cat and the Tibetan fox both look like poorly drawn animals 😂
I had to Google this to make sure you weren’t fucking with us.
Holy shit!! I cannot believe this is a real animal!! Why he look like that???
Lol! Yeah ikr. I thought it was AI generated the first time I saw a one of these.
The Tibetan Fox always makes me think of Gmork.
They grow stronger with each new anti-brain-cell.
What a cutie pie!
