This note provides information dating from 2010 to December 2019 on carnivore distribution in the province of Seville, Spain. The authors' own observations (507) of live animals and roadkills have been combined with confirmed sightings registered in the online wildlife observation database Observado Espa¤a (54), and the results plotted on 185 UTM squares representing areas of 10 ž 10 km. Ten species were recorded, including several small carnivores: Wild Cat _Felis silvestris_; Spanish Lynx _Lynx pardinus_; Western Polecat _Mustela putorius_; Least Weasel _Mustela nivalis_; Beech Marten _Martes foina_; Eurasian Otter _Lutra lutra_; Eurasian Badger _Meles meles_; Common Genet _Genetta genetta_; Egyptian Mongoose _Herpestes ichneumon_; and Red Fox _Vulpes vulpes_. Eight squares (4.3% of total squares) had eight or more species; 43 squares (23.2%) had five to seven; 76 squares (41.1 %) had three or four; and 58 squares (31.4%) had one or two species.
