Puma concolor
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Los Glaciares National Park, aggregated onto a 25 km grid. A cell is matched by its centre, which can sit up to 16 km outside the boundary, so this covers the surrounding country too.
Occurrence records measure where people looked and found something, which is not the same as where the animal is. This is a relative likelihood, not a probability.
Records exist for January, February, March, April, July, August, September, October, November and December, with the widest coverage in January. A quiet month can mean the animal was absent, or that nobody was looking.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 6 squares of 25 km carry records for Puma in and around Los Glaciares National Park, and the 152 records behind them were collected by other people and published openly. Nothing here counts animals, and a place with more records is not always a place with more animals.
Corcovado and the Osa Peninsula are the two atlas places where the Puma is recorded, with records concentrating in Argentina, the United States, Brazil, Ecuador and Colombia. The atlas holds 3,265 open records of this member of the Felidae family across 11 countries. This map tracks the areas where those records concentrate.
It is the only species with an atlas page recorded in and around Los Glaciares National Park.
