          Abstract

          El Ocelote, Leopardus pardalis es un carnívoro con amplia distribución en América del sur. En Ecuador, los registros se concentran en bosques tropicales de tierras bajas y en estribaciones de los Andes (< 900 m de elevación), en donde disponen de una variedad de preseas, particularmente de pequeños mamíferos. Sin embargo, en las regiones alto-Andinas no se conoce sobre su presencia ni tampoco sobre su dieta. El 8 de noviembre de 2016 un macho adulto de L. pardalis que fue colectado muerto en la localidad de Usho, provincia del Cañar; el registro está localizado en la región alto-Andina al sur del Ecuador a 2818 m de elevación. Durante la evaluación del espécimen se encontraron varias púas digeridas y asociadas a la especie de Puerco espín de cola corta, Coendou rufescens. Este registro demuestra que L. pardalis ocurre al menos estacionalmente en la región alto-Andina del Ecuador; además demuestra la predación de especies alto-Andinas dentro de sus hábitos alimenticios.

          Translated abstract

          The Ocelot, Leopardus pardalis is a carnivore with wide distribution in South America. In Ecuador, most of the records come from lowland tropical forests and foothills of the Andes (<900 m at sea level), where this species has a variety of prey, particularly small mammals. However, in the high Andean regions, neither their occurrence nor their diet is known. On November 8, 2016 an adult male of L. pardalis was collected dead in the Usho locality, province of Cañar; the record is located in the high-Andean region in south of Ecuador at 2818 meters to sea level. During the evaluation of the specimen, several digested barbs were found and these were associated with the species of short-tailed porcupine, Coendou rufescens. This record shows that L. pardalis occurs at least seasonally in the high-Andean region of Ecuador; It also shows predation on the high-Andean species in their eating habits.
