Resumen
MARTINEZ, Juan A.; RUDOLF, Juan C. y QUEIROLO, Diego. Puma concolor (Carnivora, Felidae) in Uruguay: local situation and regional context. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2010, vol.17, n.1, pp.153-159. ISSN 0327-9383.
Modern presence of Puma concolor in Uruguay has been controversial. Recent records of the species in Uruguay are reported in this work, with a synthesis of historical records. On this basis, different hypothesis about the origin of Uruguayan individuals are discussed. Pumas have not yet gone extinct in the country. However, it must be considered a highly endangered species. Population studies and urgent management actions within a regional scale are needed for puma conservation in Uruguay.
