MAFFEI, Leonardo; NOSS, Andrew  and  FIORELLO, Christine. The Jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) in the Kaa-Iya del Gran Chaco National Park, Santa Cruz, Bolivia. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2007, vol.14, n.2, pp.263-266. ISSN 0327-9383.

Jaguarundis are felids that inhabit almost all habitat types below 2200 m, but basic aspects of their biology and behaviour are still unknown. This study was carried out using camera traps to register the species' activity pattern in dry Chaco habitats. Jaguarundis were exclusively diurnal with a decline in activity during the warmer hours. Also, photographs showed a coat color ratio of two grey individuals for one orange.

Keywords : Activity; Camera trap; Jaguarundi.
