Very interesting! I think we will be visiting the NE part of Brazil next year and we will try to document this feline.

Ya got to be kiddin'...

Like the fabled chupacabra

Ain't no way Jose

Anything like that would have been rendered into machaca centuries ago.

But! There are grizzly bears in Mexico, but maybe they've all been fitted between the lips of a taco as well.

WE have the Jaguarundis in Nayarit, my house is named Ek Balam, Mayan for dark Jaguar, after one visited my home the first night I moved in 5 years ago

Yesterday, on the way home from La Paz, on the stretch from Insurgentes to Nopolo, about 5 miles from the turn off, we encountered a dead feline on the side of the road, apparently hit by traffic. It was the size of a bobcat, but the markings were like that of a panter with miniature spots. Never seen a bobcat like that. Maybe a jaguarundi ? :P:biggrin:
