Two neotropical spotted felids in the Nevado de Toluca Volcano? The highest altitude records
摘要
Leopardus wiedii and Leopardus pardalis are endangered small felids. Its main altitudinal range expands from sea level to 1,500 m. Camera traps were placed in the Matawi Indigenous Park on the Nevado de Toluca Volcano. Photographic records were obtained of L. wiedii at 3,207 masl and of L. pardalis at 3,307 masl. This is the highest altitudinal record for margay in its distribution, and for ocelot is the highest in the northern hemisphere.
