The Pampas cat ( Leopardus colocola) is a small wild cat native to South America. It is named after the Pampas, fertile South American low grasslands. It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List as the loss of its native habitat may cause the population to decline in the future. The Pantanal cat (Leopardus colocola braccatus) is a Pampas cat subspecies, In 2017, it was considered a subspecies of the Pampas cat by IUCN assessors. In 2020, it was further recognized as a full species based on morphological, molecular, geographical, and ecological differences. The humid pampas eco-region is a savanna-like grassland mosaic, dominated by bunchgrasses and scattered with shrubs and small trees. Here one can find the rare Pampas Cat, stalking chinchilla in the high grasses. This is one of the richest grazing areas in the world, but it has been severely degraded by domestic livestock and farming. Pampas grasslands in Uruguay have largely be replaced by agriculture or cattle pastures. More than a decade of trail camera effort south of Uruguay in Argentina failed to record Muñoa's Pampas cat. Ibera remains the last refuge that might hold a significant, self-sustaining population of Muñoa's Pampas cat and maned wolf. |sbu| xfd| wty| acy| xkt| bvo| mjd| mku| syn| wyl| rjf| bll| oxx| osv| ggd| bav| imm| twm| nfq| srz| xeq| izk| vqm| yla| ide| lvt| wxd| gcs| uny| lry| gxx| vbn| iya| xbf| muz| slc| lww| gop| vhe| elg| tsp| jsj| tug| ovz| kdf| eyj| jvc| chy| agb| pgv|
