Update on the distribution of the Andean cat _Oreailurus jacobita _and the pampas cat _Lynchailurus colocolo_ in Peru
2007  Endangered Species Research (3): 313-320

We review the current distribution of the Andean cat Oreailurus jacobita and the pampas cat Lynchailurus colocolo in Peru and present 30 new records of the Andean cat and 268 of the pampas cat between the years 2001 and 2006. In addition, we evaluate the presence of the Andean cat from interviews with local inhabitants. These new records extend the known Andean cat distribution an extra 892 km northwest and show that pampas cats occupy a great diversity of habitats throughout the Peruvian coast and Andes.
