Populations in Chile were being considered extinct by 1953, even so the animal was located to inhabit a region within the Antofagasta Area while in the late 1900s and early 2000s. The animal may very well be extinct in Bolivia and Peru, even though 1 specimen found (inside a restaurant in Cerro de Pasco) might hail from a local population.[six][11]
