RESUMEN
Resumen Presentamos el registro de un individuo de oso hormiguero norteño (Tamandua mexicana) con color de pelaje anormalmente blanco. Este individuo fue fotografiado con una cámara trampa en el bosque seco ecuatorial en el departamento de Lambayeque, a 560 m de altitud, en del noroeste del Perú. No pudimos diferenciar si la causa de esta aberración cromática correspondió a un caso de albinismo o de leucismo, sin embargo, destacamos este primer registro excepcional para la especie en Perú. Adicionalmente, hacemos una revisión de su presencia en el extremo sur de su distribución global.
ABSTRACT
Abstract We present the record of an individual of northern tamandua (Tamandua mexicana) with abnormal white coloration that was photographed with a camera trap in the equatorial dry forest in the department of Lambayeque, at elevation of 560 m, northwest Peru. We could not determine if this chromatic aberration was a case of leucism or albinism, but we highlight this uncommon record as the first for Peru. We also revised the information about its presence in the southern portion of its global range.
