Resumen:
he Andean Cat Leopardus jacobita is one of the least known felids in South America (AGA 2011; Hunter 2015). Its distribution is restricted to arid regions of the High Andes of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Peru and a portion of the Patagonian steppe in Argentina. It is classified as Endangered by the IUCN (Villalba et al.2016). Main threats for this species, evaluated and categorized by the Andean Cat Alliance (2011), are habitat loss and degradation, opportunistic and traditional hunting and reduction of prey populations.
