9. Felis
azticus
probably refers
to what was
known at that
time as Felis
oregonensis
aztecus
(Merriam).
(See
“Mammals
from the
States of
Sinaloa and
Jalisco,
Mexico,
collected by
J.H. Batty
during 1904 and 1905 – Joel Asaph Allen, American Museum of Natural History”). Felis oregonensis is an invalid (junior synonym) for Puma concolor couguar, North American Cougar. Bailey indicates that it was common at
that time. The photograph above is from a mural at Teotihuacán, north of Mexico City. This subspecies is found as far south as Central America.
