The Texas jaguarundi is a small endangered wildcat that lives along the border between Texas and Mexico. The jaguarundi was put on the federal endangered species list in 1976, but the Department of the Interior has never formulated a plan to protect the cat, as required under the Endangered Species Act.

Two types of the endangered species call south Texas their home, the Gulf Coast jaguarundi and the Sinaloan jaguarundi. According to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, they are larger than a domestic cat and have small ears, long, narrow bodies with short legs and flattened heads and tails. They generally look more like an otter or a weasel than a cat. They make their homes, according to the lawsuit, in the "dense thorny mesquite, cacti and cat claw thickets of southern Texas."

I hate to break it to you von, but there are plenty of people who hunt and fish on the one hand but are passionate conservationists on the other hand. You don't have to be a vegetarian tree-hugger to want to promote a healthy ecosystem.
Also about that "myth" regarding our inability to save endangered species: nobody tell the bald eagle.
Creatures that don't: Everything else.
