Abstract

This study reports the occurrence of Leopardus tigrinus oncilla from eastern Panama. This is only the third such report of its presence across Panama, which expands the known distribution of this species to nearly the entire country. The presence of L. t. oncilla in Chucantí Private Natural Reserve confirms the importance of the Darien cloud forest for the conservation of this elusive felid.
