These are open occurrence records, so they show where people looked for and recorded the Northern Tamandua 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.
