Lontra longicaudis
Corcovado, Osa Peninsula and Arenal are among the six atlas places where the Neotropical Otter is recorded. Records of this mammal concentrate in Argentina, French Guiana, Colombia, Mexico and Costa Rica, with 461 open records across ten countries.
Because records span both hemispheres, recorded seasons differ by region. Each place page in the atlas shows the particular months when Lontra longicaudis is recorded there.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Neotropical Otter as much as where it lives. Cells are up to 25 km across, and every location is generalised to its cell.
Generalised encounter areas, not exact locations. Each shape is a grid cell coloured by how likely the species is there.
Conservation status not assessed here yet, so every location is generalised to its grid cell.
