Update on the distribution of the Andean cat Oreailurus jacobita and the pampas cat Lynchailurus colocolo in Peru [PDF]

Endangered Species Research, 2007
We review the current distribution of the Andean cat Oreailurus jacobita and the pam- pas cat Lynchailurus colocolo in Peru and present 30 new records of the Andean cat and 268 of the pampas cat between the years 2001 and 2006. In addition, we evaluate the presence of the Andean cat from interviews with local inhabitants.

External and skull morphology of the Andean cat and Pampas cat: new data from the high Andes of Argentina [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2018
Andean and Pampas cats are 2 Neotropical small felids of the genus Leopardus. Until now, most of the scarce morphometric data published for these felids, especially the rare Andean cat (L. jacobita), were obtained from museum skins and skulls of undetermined sex. Here, we present morphological data from Pampas cats (L.

Spatial organization and social dynamics of Geoffroy’s cat in the Brazilian pampas [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2018
Geoffroy's cat (Leopardus geoffroyi) is a small Neotropical felid whose social behavior remains poorly understood. We used simultaneous radiotelemetry (4 males and 3 females) and camera trapping to examine the spatial structure and dynamics of a population of this species in the Brazilian pampas (part of the Uruguayan Savannah ecoregion), including ...

High extinction risk and limited habitat connectivity of Muñoa’s pampas cat, an endemic felid of the Uruguayan Savanna ecoregion

Journal for Nature Conservation, 2021
Abstract Munoa’s pampas cat (recently proposed to be a distinct species, Leopardus munoai) is a small felid that is endemic to the Uruguayan Savanna ecoregion (encompassing southern Brazil, north-eastern Argentina and Uruguay). Previous studies have suggested that it is threatened, but its conservation assessment has been hampered by the scarcity of ...

GEOGRAPHICAL VARIATION IN THE DIET OF GEOFFROY'S CAT (ONCIFELIS GEOFFROYI) IN PAMPAS GRASSLAND OF ARGENTINA [PDF]

Journal of Mammalogy, 2004
Geoffroy's cat (Oncifelis geoffroyi) is a little-known South American felid. We report here the first detailed data on its food habits and variations among 3 areas of the Argentine Pampas grassland. Analysis of 421 scat samples showed a relatively narrow trophic niche, dominated by vertebrates, especially small rodents.

Density and activity patterns of Andean cat and pampas cat (Leopardus jacobita and L. colocolo) in the Bolivian Altiplano

Wildlife Research, 2019
Abstract Context Understanding the factors that determine the distribution and abundance of species is an important aim of ecology and prerequisite for conservation. The Andean cat (Leopardus jacobita) and the pampas cat (L. colocolo) are two of the least studied felids. Both are threatened, of

Distribution of the northern pampas cat, Leopardus garleppi, in northern South America, confirmation of its presence in Colombia and genetic analysis of a controversial record from the country

Mammalia, 2023
Abstract The common name of pampas cat includes a complex of small Neotropical felid species found in various habitats of South America. Recently several species of this complex were proposed, but there are few records in the northernmost distribution of the continent, and reports of the pampas cat’s presence in Colombia have been ...

Molecular and Serological Survey of the Cat-Scratch Disease Agent (Bartonella henselae) in Free-Ranging Leopardus geoffroyi and Leopardus wiedii (Carnivora: Felidae) From Pampa Biome, Brazil

Microbial Ecology, 2020
The genus Bartonella comprises emerging bacteria that affect humans and other mammals worldwide. Felids represent an important reservoir for several Bartonella species. Domestic cats are the main reservoir of Bartonella henselae, the agent of cat scratch disease (CSD). It can be transmitted directly by scratches and bites from infected cats and via cat

Husbandry and breeding of the Pampas cat Oncifelis colocolo at Cincinnati Zoo & Botanical Garden

International Zoo Yearbook, 1997
In 1972 Cincinnati Zoo received a pair of Pampas cats Oncifelis colocolo from Paraguay, and in 1981 a second ♂ was transferred to the Zoo. Since 1974 31 kittens (10.6.15) have been born at the Zoo in 23 litters. Because ♀♀ appear to be particularly sensitive to disturbances when rearing, a management protocol for the seclusion of ♂ cats has been ...

Roadkill as the primary cause of death of the kodkod, pampas cat and puma in the biodiversity hotspot of central Chile

Mammalia
Abstract Central Chile is recognized as a biodiversity hotspot, inhabited by four wild cat species: kodkod (Leopardus guigna), pampas cat (Leopardus colocola), Andean cat (Leopardus jacobita), and puma (Puma concolor). However, threats to these felids in this region remains poorly documented. This study investigates the primary causes of
