The Cat Specialist Group has upgraded the
status of the Andean mountain cat (Oreailurus jacobita)
to Endangered on the new IUCN
Red List of Threatened Animals. Research in Peru (sponsored through
CAT by Gibson Anderson) is describing this species range and status in
the high Andes. New reports from the Tacna region in the south indicate
that Andean cats still occur. Aymara people there keep stuffed specimens
for traditional religious purposes, and they reported seeing Andean cats
once or twice per year.
