| The Tigrilladas in Colombia | |
| 2006 Cat News (44): 25-28 | |
The jaguar _Panthera onca_ and the tigrillos, - the ocelot _Leopardus pardalis_, the margay _L. wiedi _and the oncilla_ L. tigrinus_ - are the four spotted cat species indigenous to the Colombian Amazon basin. The cat skin boom of the 1960s and 1970s is well known, but details of how these skins were produced remain obscure. The tigrilladas is the name is given to the hunting missions that used to go after jaguars and tigrillos to cater for this fashion craze. Here we detail how these operated and discuss the significant implications for conservation. |
