First confirmed record of puma in the state of Tlaxcala, East-Central Mexico
2021  Cat News (73): 36-38

Puma _Puma concolor_ was documented for the first time in the state of Tlaxcala, Mexico. The record is relevant because it is outside the described distribution of the species, and it is in close proximity to a growing urban area. This finding highlights the importance of community monitoring efforts and urges developing conservation actions to ensure the lasting presence of the species in the region.
