Dasyprocta punctata
Drawn from open occurrence records in and around Cajas 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.
A grid cell is a square of the map, not a sighting: 1 square of 25 km carry records for Central American Agouti in and around Cajas National Park, and the 4 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.
Osa Peninsula, Corcovado and Arenal are among the six atlas places where the Central American Agouti is recorded. Its records gather most thickly in Colombia, Ecuador, Costa Rica, Panama and Mexico. The atlas holds 7,648 records of this member of the Dasyproctidae family from 12 countries, and the map shows where these records concentrate.
Of the 9 species with an atlas page recorded in and around Cajas National Park, the Central American Agouti is the 9th most recorded.
