ARANDA, Marcelo; BOTELLO, Francisco; MARTINEZ-MEYER, Enrique  e  PINEDA, Arturo. First record of the ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) in Lagunas de Zempoala National Park, State of Mexico and Morelos, Mexico. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2014, vol.85, n.4, pp.1300-1302. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.43293.

We recorded the presence of an adult male ocelot (Leopardus pardalis) with a camera-trap in Lagunas de Zempoala National Park (LZNP), in the states of Mexico and Morelos, Mexico. This is an outstanding record for the species because it is the first report for the LZNP, the closest location of the species to three of the largest cities in the country, namely Mexico, Toluca and Cuernavaca; also, is the record at the highest altitude in Mexico (3 150 m), and is the first record of the species in fir forest.
