C. Koford Journal 7 June 1972. Caracas Venezuela hunting prohibited, saying that many problems to be solved w/ specimens ( one w/ hollow canines, said to be male agoutis; some with small postcanin tooth; pelt & behavioral diffs). But they talked as if continuing to hunt as usual, starting December. He had much to say on every point, ready answers. He said jaguar occurs all over Venezuela. Very much in 'costas' to call, imitating opposite sex. Probably never doubtless to feed, though so true when dogs chase. Food - don't eat dogs, rarely cattle. They "siempre" open stomachs. Wide variety of food, including birds, turtles, earth, cattle droppings, copybara. Thinks they have two reproductive seasons, first mating about June when rains start (much roaring then - this is 'invierno'), again about September. He thought births adjusted to take advantage of food conditions. Usually one cub or 2, the litter 1-3. Males have territories & fight off other males. If male killed, another moves in; if it, killed, another. Some male range 50 km; may be at one end of range in summer, other in winter. (Hector agreed w/ all this.) When or killed, easy to find and kill ?, especially as she calls much (only in mating season ?). He thought 2-3 F/male nearer to Caracas, about 1:1 on distant llanos. Much of what he said was same as in C & P articles, so not repeated here. (Mardolfi should thought B. R. not too reliable in ideas, perhaps flog- eating). Rover said he & friends had killed over 100 jaguars. He agreed that jaguar decreasing and island habitat destruction primarily, plus poaching. He claimed to have data on localities, weights, repro. status, etc. for many kinds
