A jaguarundi appeared on the road leading to the district of Pesé, in the province of Herrera. The idea, they say, is to protect both people and the animal. The jaguarundi is a small wild feline with an elongated body, short legs, and a long tail, with fur that can be dark gray or reddish-brown. In Panama, it usually moves through wooded areas, shrubs, and rural areas. It is a solitary animal and mostly diurnal, feeding on rodents, birds, and small reptiles. It is not considered dangerous to humans and generally avoids human contact; it might only react if it feels cornered or threatened. When you see wildlife on roads or in populated areas, the correct thing to do is not to intervene. They ask to report immediately to the corresponding authorities. The feline was in the road area, exposed to traffic. Officials proceeded with the rescue and transported it to the regional headquarters of MiAmbiente in Herrera. The notice spread quickly and personnel from the Ministry of the Environment (MiAmbiente) arrived at the scene. It was a jaguarundi. There it was received for a complete review. MiAmbiente rescued it.
