| Video of probable northern tiger cat in low-elevation forest, western Panama | |
| 2021 Cat News (72): 6-7 | |
This is a report of a camera trap video probably documenting a northern tiger cat _Leopardus tigrinus_ at an elevation of 277 m in the foothills of the Talamanca mountain range in the province of Bocas del Toro, Panama. The only other published record from the western part of Panama was recorded at a high altitude above 3,000 m. Information on the distribution, population and habitat preference of the species in Costa Rica and Panama is very scarce. In addition the taxonomical status of the species is under review. Hence this specimen may be representative of a separate Leopardus species. |
