URREA-GALEANO, Lina Adonay; ROJAS-LOPEZ, Misael; SANCHEZ-SANCHEZ, Lorenzo  and  IBARRA-MANRIQUEZ, Guillermo. Record of Puma yagouaroundi from Zicuirán-Infiernillo Biosphere Reserve, Michoacán. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2016, vol.87, n.2, pp.548-551. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rmb.2016.04.004.

We present the record of Puma yagouaroundi (jaguarundi) with digital pictures in the buffer zone of Zicuirán-Infiernillo Biosphere Reserve. Using camera traps, photographs of Puma yagouaroundi from October 2013 to October 2014 were obtained. With this evidence, the presence of the species in the lower Balsas River basin is documented, it suggests as well that its distribution throughout the Sierra Madre del Sur and the coastal area of Michoacán could have connectivity toward this zone.

Keywords : Tropical dry forest; Camera trap; Churumuco; Balsas River basin.
