This was recorded in the NorthWestern colombian Andes by the *AndeanBearInitiative* (ABI)

A melanistic specimen of the Oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus) has been captured on film. While it resembles a smaller version of an ocelot, the oncilla is native to the Americas and faces significant threats: it is considered highly endangered in Central America and vulnerable in South America.

Sightings of this feline are rare, but melanistic (all-black) individuals are even more exceptional.

"El Brujo" is a male Andean bear over 20 years old, identified as the largest individual in the park. Chingaza is home to a population of 60 to 128 bears, and with new births frequently recorded, El Brujo shares his territory with several younger males.

While a young male (3–4 years old) typically weighs between 80 and 91 kg, and mature adults generally range from 130 to 175 kg, El Brujo is in a league of his own. Based on his neck girth, age, and overall size, he likely sits at the maximum wild limits for the species—estimated between 180 and 200 kg. According to tree markings, he can stand nearly 2 meters tall on his hind legs.

Note: For context, the captivity record for this species was held by a male with significant fat accumulation who reached 222.5 kg.

El Brujo has been known to hunt livestock; in image 4, he can be seen gnawing on a cow’s vertebra. He is one of the largest mammals in the park, surpassed only by the Mountain Tapir, which can reach weights of up to 250 kg.
