“The boys saw it and got scared and even wanted to grab it when I warned them not to because it wasn’t a common cat,” he added.

About the yaguarundí
Also called “Moorish cat”, “guina” or “huina” it belongs to the Felidae family.
It is one of the four species of wild cats that inhabit the Cordoba soil, along with the puma, the wild cat and the cat of the pajonales.
“Its body is long and slender with short limbs and a long tail, a small head and short, rough fur that can vary from brown to uniform black,” the Environmental Police explained in a publication.
“It feeds on small mammals and birds, and can also hunt reptiles and amphibians,” he adds.
Despite the fact that the conservation status of this species is of “least concern” worldwide, in Córdoba it is classified as a “vulnerable” breed.
