SEGUIN, Texas — Residents along Link Road and State Highway 46 in Seguin have reported sightings of a large cat, sparking speculation on social media that it could be a jaguarundi, a relative of the jaguar.

Reports of the mysterious feline extend north towards Spring Branch, prompting questions about the implications of such sightings.

Rachel Malstaff, Director of Mammals at the San Antonio Zoo, explained that jaguarundis are "a little bit bigger than, like, your average house cat... a little bit longer and leaner than an average house cat as well."

Malstaff suggested that if the animal has indeed moved this far north into Texas, it could be due to habitat destruction in northern Mexico. "As those areas get clear cut for farming, for development for people moving in, that displaces them from their native habitats. So that would be the likely cause of them moving somewhere where they don't generally live," she said.

However, Malstaff noted that it is unlikely an actual jaguarundi is in the area, as the species hasn't been spotted in Texas since the 1980s. This is supported by Texas Parks and Wildlife, which stated that jaguarundis are believed to have disappeared from Texas entirely.

"They're fairly elusive," Malstaff said. "So they stay hidden between trees and brush and shrubs, not generally, you know, going to be found where there's people around."

While jaguarundis are not typically aggressive, Malstaff advised that if someone spots an unfamiliar animal, they should keep their distance. "Reach out to the zoo. Reach out to Texas Parks and Wildlife for confirmation of what species it is," she said.

SAN ANTONIO — Part of a high-speed chase across two Texas counties was caught on camera Saturday afternoon in Seguin.

Guadalupe Country Sheriff's deputies said they were attempting to stop a wanted fugitive while a witness whipped out his phone to catch the action.

"Bro, we are straight up in a high-speed chase. It's a high-speed chase, bro!" Greg Moss of Seguin can be heard saying.

Moss told KENS 5 he was heading to New Braunfels with his family at the time when, near the Republic Plastics plans in McQueeny, they came upon a sheriff's deputy vehicle and couldn't go any future. That gave them an up-front view of the action.

First they noticed law enforcement trying to put down spike strips as a dark-colored Challenger neared, driving fast.

"I saw the sheriff pull up and at first I'm thinking, 'Oh man, somebody got pulled over,'" he said. "But when I look there's no vehicles in front of us, so I'm like, 'What are they doing?'"

Then the situation, including the black Dodge Challenger itself, took a hard left turn.

"Nothing was clicking until I saw them pull out the the spikes," said Moss. "Then there was a black vehicle or a black truck and I'm like, 'Oh, are they gonna throw it at that black truck?' That's when I heard my son in back go: 'It's a high-speed chase.'"

They captured video of the Challenger driving off road through a large grassy area, at one point driving so fast that all four wheels are briefly off the ground. Law enforcement gets nearer while staying on the road, and after the Challenger appears to briefly spin out it hops back on the street and continues to lead the chase.

Guadalupe County sheriff's deputies say they were notified of the vehicle traveling south on State Highway 130, which was being driven by a 16-year-old wanted fugitive.

When deputies attempted to stop the vehicle, the driver evaded and the pursuit continued. They say the suspect was eventually taken into custody at the 300 block of Bar H Lane.

Moss says the scene was chaotic, but he's also glad the car didn't go in their direction. He said he felt like he was watching a movie.

"It resembled the scene on 'Fast and the Furious' when they had all the cops behind them," he said. "Or 'Dukes of Hazzard' when he went airborne."

Residents near San Antonio may have spotted a cat long believed to be extinct in Texas. In Seguin, locals are comparing recent big cat sightings to the jaguarundi — a small, elusive feline related to the jaguar. According to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD), the last confirmed sighting of a jaguarundi in Texas occurred in Brownsville in 1986.

In a private Facebook group, residents in Seguin speculated about seeing a cat about 28-32 inches long along Link Road and State Highway 46 in Seguin, about 35 miles east of San Antonio. One resident described it as a long, brownish-grayish cat, noting it didn't resemble a bobcat or mountain lion. However, many residents mentioned it could be jaguarundi.

Brad Sowder, a meteorologist for Fox San Antonio, posted about the sightings on Facebook, adding that the wildcats haven't been seen in nearly 40 years in Texas. Many people in the comments mentioned how they believe they saw a jaguarundi in San Antonio, Del Rio and other cities in South Texas. Luis Santana wrote, "Seen them down in Uvalde."

However, no confirmed sightings have been reported as of Friday, May 16. MySA reached out to TPWD for more details.

What is a jaguarundi?

A jaguarundi is slightly larger than a domestic cat, weighing 8-16 pounds, according to TPWD. Their coat is a solid color, either rusty-brown or charcoal gray. The animals live alone except during the mating season of November and December.

It's hard to spot them as they are mainly active at night. However, the wildcat also moves around during the day, often to drink water at midday.

Jaguarundis are endangered because the dense brush that provides habitat has been cleared for farming or for the growth of cities, according to TPWD. While extinct in Texas, jaguarundi still exists in Mexico. People in the lower Rio Grande Valley are working together to plant native shrubs and restore habitat for the animal, according to TPWD.
