| New record of the Andean cat in the Puna of Jujuy province, north-western Argentina | |
| 2017 Cat News (65): 16-17 | |
In the last decade, there has been a remarkable growth in the knowledge of the habits and behaviour of the Andean Cat _Leopardus jacobita_. This cat is mainly restricted to the Andean highlands. Most of the records from north-western Argentina are based on indirect evidences. We provide a new record from Jujuy province based on photographs and a video of one of two cats seen in this area. We observed the cat moving across rocky outcrops exhibiting a hunting behaviour during daylight hours. This filmic record is a valuable contribution for the promotion of the conservation of this species. |
