OLIVEIRA DO NASCIMENTO, Fabio; DOS SANTOS POMPEU, Paulo  y  PASSAMANI, Marcelo. Range extension of the pantanal cat Leopardus braccatus (Carnivora, Felidae) in a cerrado-caatinga-atlantic forest ecotone, Brazil. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.1, pp.171-177. ISSN 0327-9383.

The Pantanal cat Leopardus braccatus (Cope, 1889) is a small-sized felid found in the open biomes of Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Uruguay and northeastern Argentina. We provide a new record for the northeast of the State of Minas Gerais, Brazil, based on a road-killed specimen. This is the easternmost known record of the Pantanal cat, extending its range about 310 km, in a Cerrado-Caatinga-Atlantic Forest ecotone.
