Abstract

We documented a southern range extension and new specimens of western gray squirrel (Sciurus griseus anthonyi) for the state of Baja California, México. The most recent specimen was collected in the town Cataviña and represents the southernmost record for the species and subspecies. Repeated observations of individuals in this new location suggest the presence of a marginal population in Mediterranean chaparral-desert scrub transition vegetation.
