A noteworthy record of margay (_Leopardus wiedii_) in the cloud forest of Morelos, Mexico
2015 Revista Mexicana de Biodiversidad (86): 1110-1112
In June2014, we confirmed the presence of margay (_Leopardus wiedii_) in fraction I of the µrea de Protecci¢n de Flora y Fauna Corredor Biol¢gico Chichinautzin, Morelos, Mexico. Our record is based in 4 video clips taken by an automatic camera located at 2,750 m of altitude, with cloud forest. This record is the second confirmed evidence of the presence of margay populations in the state of Morelos, and it is the first record of the species for the Corredor Biol¢gico Chichinautzin, expanding the distribution range of margay into Central Mexico by nearly 60 km to the north-northwest of the site where it was first recorded for Morelos, at the Sierra de Huautla Biosphere Reserve.
