Journal 5 April 1973. Thursday. Habo dela Cruz, E. Barrios, Vener. 0700 we left w. Antonio, "Jaguars" less about 12 yrs., to look for jaguar & ocelot tracks & sign. We took road to N. Passed a caracm of large cañon w. several meters feeding; 50+ meter from shore, fully & no water nearby. A dead Dussanjan log road (hit by car?). We stop- ped at edge, route "belt" walked 100 yards to a drying, muddy pond, at area called "Los Calabazas." A few old cattle carcasses there. Well. Very too. Some muddy water. But we found no cat tracks! Then went about ¼ mile S, w. about 200 yds. to water in Caño Cano (= cañada?); muddy, building w. small fish. Saw 2 piece tops of stumps; a little fence w. opening where some farm dirt pole could be set or moved. / at end of caño, a few small jaguar tracks, apparently fresh. About 50 yds. distant, by edge pond, a pair of ocelot tracks, a few days old. Antonio said cats usually kept feet on the harder ground, so had to find tracks by water when deep sleep. Here also, flock of about 30 many hostygues. We flushed groups of about 6 Gray doucotoris from tree; fairly tame. Tracks of chigüire here. Tracks lapa, babo on shore. / Antonio is thought hamlet was preferred food of jaguar; said they can disturb one's occasional morning field. / Yesterday we saw a Tamandua (= anteater - uniform cream color) low w. kid in belt bore isolated tree; approached to 10'; at shrub-like tree rapidly. They say Myrmecophaga tridactyla, + 2 kinds of cachicamo (Dasypus novemcinctus & "salamandra"). / About 1615, left w. Antonio for Caño Cascarones. We looked at dirty trails of dry route. Forward tracks of monkey, probably Blue, we had 5. along Caño - by to N. When to muddy area, saw 2 muskly cattle lying on banks, are almost dead. Another fairly mild. Several
