This pair of unusual looking cats are from a species known as Jaguarundi. They may look more like an otter or a weasel, but Andrea (Above) and Pablo (below) are most definately cats. Sometimes called "otter cats," these felids are set apart from other species by many distinct features. They have very small heads with small low set ears, a long flat tail, and a long low set body. They are also one of the only solid colored wild cats. Even their ears lack the normal white or black spots that most of the wild cat species have. They are not solid color their whole live, however. The kittens are born with spots, but as they grow, the spots fade.
In the wild, jaguarundi are more active during the day than other cat species, which are crepuscular, meaning they are most active at dawn and dusk. They are good climbers, but often hunt on the ground. Currently, jaguarundi can be seen throughout central and south america, and occasionally even as far north as Texas. While they are not generally sought after for their fur, they are at risk because of deforestation and loss of their natural habitat.
