Talk:Jaguarundi

message: * Jaguarundi have been found in Florida as well, thought to have been raised as pets by natives to keep rodent populationss down in their villages.  (One was seen in my neighbor's backyard about two months ago in Punta Gorda, FL)
* An addition to this not mentioned in this text anywhere is that they have been seen in southern Arizona. I have seen one my self In the Pajarito Mountains which come up into southern Arizona from Mexico.

message: i believe something is wrong here. if you look at the spanish version of this page you will see this animal is endangered and here it says "least concern". which one is correct? Please can someone figure it out? Nov. 2008 
* I looked it up on google and found 5+ websites that say it's endangered, and none say it's not. So, yes, it's endangered.
** However, the only website that counts is that of the IUCN, which is the official body for deciding whether animals are endangered or not. They say (in a link provided in the article) that the jauguarundi is of "Least Concern", and not endangered (nor has it ever been endangered). Individual subspecies, for example on islands, may well be endangered, but the species as a whole is not, and the article is about the species - although information on the status of subspecies can certainly be added. It may also be that other, local, bodies classify the animal as "endangered", in which case that should be added to the text on conservation, with sources to the bodies concerned. However, requests that the official international status be changed would need to be addressed to the IUCN, not us, because wikipedia can only report on what the publications actually say.

thread_title:  Threatened Species? 

message: The lead says "The coat is unspotted, uniform in color" but the image right next to those words would seem to indicate otherwise. So, either the text is wrong or the photo is not a Jaguarundi. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:17, 21 June 2009 (UTC)

message: The final illustration in this article appears to be a tayra (Eira barbara) or tolomuco, a kind of weasel.

message: Things have been changed. Now the jaguarundi is considered to belong to a genus of its own, that is Herpailurus, and as of 2017, the Cat Classification Taskforce of the Cat Specialist Group does not recognise any subspecies of jaguarondi. Leo1pard (talk) 17:54, 22 January 2018 (UTC)
thread_title:  Update 

message: I got this earlier in the month from somebody in Colonia:
-----8<-----
Today being the first of the month, I took a pick-up load of dog (and cat) 
food down to the old dairy buildings at the bottom of my farm which are 
used as an official refuge for medium and large stray dogs.
It also has a self-selected population of stray freeloading cats who take 
advantage of us and the volunteer manager's good nature. All the usual 
characters were there hoping for a leaking sack but as I was unloading the 
pick-up, a truly monstrous dark red beast emerged from the bushes and 
glowered at me for disturbing his/her slumbers. Never before have I seen 
such an enormous pussycat.
[I pointed out the photo etc. in this article]
Well spotted. That sounds awfully like the monstrous dark red beast that 
emerged from the bushes and glowered at me.
I'd better order an extra bag of Kit-e-kat biscuits  :-)
