    This cat and the Tibetan fox both look like poorly drawn animals 😂

      Sources I see say they are no longer in Texas, but a large healthy population in Mexico and South America

          Id guess killed off / habitats destroyed. What little i have read they were commonly misconceived as having a higher population than they do, as most cats are nocturnal and hunt mostly at night staying hidden during much of the day. The Jaguarundi are diurnal, and so they would be seen out and about throughout the day thus making people think we see them all the time, surely there is more. The world population may be as low as 35,000 according to estimates (up to 230k), while living across 4.5 million sq kilometers.
