The Jaguarundis are primarily diurnal, being active during the day rather than evenings or night. They are comfortable in trees, but prefer to hunt on the ground.

This cat varies in colour having a black to dark gray morph for those living in dense forests and riparian areas to a yellowish-red morph for those living in more open, drier scrub areas. Both color variations are known to be born within the same litter.

DIET

They will eat rodents, small reptiles, and ground-feeding birds. They have also been observed to kill larger prey, such as rabbits, and opossums; relatively unusual prey include fish and even marmosets. Like many other cats, they also include a small amount of vegetation and arthropods in their diets.

LIFE SPAN

This species lives for around 15 years in its natural habitat. It is known to have lived up for ten years in captivity.
