Abstract

Scarce records of Pampas cats exist in the extreme south of Chile (Patagonia). Through camera traps, we captured the first confirmed record of L. colocola in northern Patagonia of Chile. Besides, records of its marking behavior through feces and urine were captured and discussed to understand this poorly known wild cat.
