| First confirmed records of the Pantanal Cat,_ Leopardus colocola braccatus_ (Cope, 1889), in the state of SÆo Paulo, Brazil | |
| 2018 Check List (14): 699-703 | |
The Pantanal Cat,_ Leopardus colocola braccatus_, presents a broad distribution over several biomes in South America. However, the distribution of the species is based on a limited number of occurrences, and confirmed records of the species are scarce. Here, we present 2 confirmed records of _Leopardus colocola braccatus_ from the state of SÆo Paulo, southeast Brazil. Both records are juvenile individuals, 1 recorded in the municipality of Castilho and the other in Ara‡atuba. These SÆo Paulo records expand the distribution of this uncommon felid to the most populous state of Brazil. This species is currently Data Deficient on the SÆo Paulo Red List, and these new records may help with future assessments of the conservation status of this felid. |
