| Spatial Ecology of Geoffroy's Cat in the Pampas | |
| 2005 Cat News (43): 27-28 | |
The Geoffroy's cat _Oncifelis geoffroyi_ is a small-sized felid found from sea level up to 3,300 m in the Andes and from southern Bolivia, northwestern Argentina, southern of Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay to southern Patagonia and Chile (Sunquist & Sunquist, 2002). It has recently been updated to the Near Threatened category (Nowell, 2002), because of lack of knowledge and concerns for the impact of human-related habitat changes upon its populations. While cat research has increased in Argentina in the last decade (Lucherini et al. 2004), the only published information on the spatial behaviour of this cat comes from the southernmost portion of its distribution in Chile (Johnson & Franklin, 1991). |
