Jaguarundi Eyra Cat

In some Spanish speaking countries, the jaguarundi is also called "gato colorado", "gato moro", "león brenero", "onza", and "tigrillo", leoncillo. Leoncillo means little lion. It is also called gato-mourisco, eirá, gato-preto and maracajá-preto in Portuguese. "Jaguarundi" comes from Old Tupi yawaum'di.
Characteristics
The jaguarundi has short legs, an elongated body and a long tail. The ears are short and rounded. The coat is unspotted and uniform in color, with, at most, a few faint markings on the face and underside. The coat can be either blackish to brownish grey (grey phase) or foxy red to chestnut (red phase); individuals of both phases can be born in the same litter. It has a total length of 53 to 77 cm (21 to 30 in) with a 31 to 60 cm (12 to 24 in) long tail, and weighs 3.5 to 9.1 kg (7.7 to 20 lb).
