Abstract

Eira barbara Tayra has been reported across its geographic range from elevations between 0-2400 m, being rare above 1200 m. We report four records of E. barbara above 2600 m, obtained by using camera trapping. These records come from Reserva Natural Chamanapamba and Bosque Protector Cerro Candelaria, both located on the province of Tungurahua, eastern slopes of the Andes of Ecuador.
