ESPINOZA-RAMIREZ, Mayra Karelly; LUNA-KRAULETZ, María Delfina; ALFONSO-CORRADO, Cecilia  and  CLARK-TAPIA, Ricardo. Recent record of big cats in cloud forest of Santiago Comaltepec, Sierra Norte of Oaxaca, Mexico. Acta Zool. Mex [online]. 2017, vol.33, n.2, pp.398-401. ISSN 2448-8445.

We confirm the presence of four big cats, Panthera onca, Puma concolor, Leopardus pardalis and Leopardus wiedii in cloud forest on La Esperanza community lands, Santiago Comaltepec, Oaxaca. Camera traps were used to evaluate the presence of these species in two transects of 2.5 km and 1.5 km respectively, from August of 2014 to February of 2016. This information is necessary for the conservation in situ of these species.
