Observing felines in their habitat is very difficult, in our last expedition to the Santa Eulalia valley we were able to observe Northern Colocolo (Leopardus garleppi), which was a record we will never forget.
At the beginning of May, during a birding tour in the Santa Eulalia Valley, in which our main objective was to observe the Andean Condor in an area near the town of Huachupampa, we had an unexpected record of the Northern Colocolo (Leopardus garleppi), a wild species very rare to observe and which we were also able to record in a photo.
