Abstract

The Western Mountain Coati Nasuella olivacea is one of the least studied small carnivores in Peru. While its distribution is thought to extend well into the interior of Peru, it remains largely unknown. Between September and November of 2018, we obtained camera-trap photographs of N. olivacea from the province of Mariscal Cáceres in the San Martin Region of north-central Peru. These are new locality records for N. olivacea, extending the known geographical range of live specimens approximately 318 km southward.
