23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Two-week-old orphaned jaguarundi

A two-week-old orphaned jaguarundi squeals as a biologist cares for it at a wildlife veterinary hospital in Panama City, Panama. The tiny feline was found in the interior of the country alongside another baby that unfortunately did not survive. It is being cared for with the hope that, once it receives the necessary attention and is ready, it can be released back into the wild.
