Prof. Mumblebard claims: “The jaguarundi is the plainest of the small wild cats. Camouflage patterns are superfluous because its short legs allow this weasel-like species of tropical America to hide even in low vegetation.” (NAÏVE)
Robin and the Honey Badger respond: “The common fawn colour-morph of the jaguarundi mimics the facial colouration of the puma despite the great difference in body size. This resemblance confuses the identity of the jaguarundi in the eyes of the puma – which kills other felids on sight. This tactic works because the jaguarundi naturally has such sparse populations that the puma is unlikely to learn from experience.” (INSIGHTFUL)
