Description

Puma yagouaroundi eyra
"The Eyra (Felis Eyra) - This is the most remarkable of all the cats, from the extreme length of its body in comparison to that of its limbs a condition which gives it somewhat the appearance of a large weasel. It is also one of the few unspotted cats. The fur is soft, of a uniform reddish-yellow or chestnut colour, with a whitish spot on each side of the upper lip. It is about the size of the domestic cat, save that its legs are much shorter than that animal's. The pupil is round.* The skull is much elongated and greatly flattened above. The nose is a little pinched in laterally. The first upper premolar is present.

The specimen in the Zoological Gardens was very gentle, but another one was quite untameable. It inhabits Brazil, Guiana and Paraguay, and though rare north-ards of Panama, extends upwards to the Rio del Norte between Mexico and Texas."
