Jaguarundi
Herpailurus yagouaroundi
First year: 1934
Extirpated year:
Established status: Species have populations whose status is unknown.
Estimated Florida range: 8 counties Not reported breeding
Statewide trend: Unknown status
Threats to natives: Unknown
Species Account:This small cat is a native of Texas to South America. No specimen has been found in Florida, and the evidence for its presence consists of scattered eyewitness accounts which are suspect, given the jaguarundi's similarity to domestic cats. There have also been some sightings of this animal reported in coastal Alabama. The absence of road-killed specimens in Florida argues strongly against the presence of anything more than isolated escapees. The Jaguarundi has been on the United States Endangered Species List since 1976.
Habitats:Flatwoods,Mesic Hammocks
