Records. Recorded by line transect (09°17.863′S, 068° 58.650′W), camera trapping, hunter interviews, and hunting calendar.
Identification. The head and paws are proportionally large. The coloration varies from pale yellowish-gray to brown with diverse intermediate tonalities. The ventral surface is whitish, and the black blotches tend to form
open rosettes in small clusters, forming longitudinal stripes on its flanks ( Murray and Gardner 1997).
