| Melanistic pampas cat in the central Peruvian Andes | |
| 2012 Cat News (57): 14-14 | |
The pampas cat _Oncifelis colocolo_ is one of the most enigmatic of the neotropical felids. Little is known of its ecology and its distribution and taxonomy are still a matter of debate. Here we provide an account of a melanistic pampas cat in the vicinity of Yanachaga-Chemillien National Park in the Andes of Central Peru. This report is the first official confirmed record of the pampas cat from the Peruvian province of Oxapampa, which now contains a minimum of seven felid species. |
