Puma concolor
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.
Because the records span both hemispheres, the recorded months differ by region and each place page shows the timing for that location.
These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Puma as much as where it lives. The atlas keeps a species' 200 best-recorded grid cells, so the map shows where records concentrate rather than its whole range. 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.
