Las Flores, Depts. Maldonado, Uruguay
Nov. 22 behind the house and along the edge of the
driveway , so we had 80 Sherman's and 45
snap traps set.
We had dinner around 11:30pm and got
to bed at 12:30 or 1:00 am.
Nov. 23 We caught 4 Oxymycterus in grass and
shrubs near the house, one in a snap along
the driveway and 1 in a snag on the hillside
above the house. Down by the arroyo we caught
1 Oxymycterus as well.
Enrique and Noel barotyped 4 Oxymycterus.
We are still trying to figure out if there are
two forms of Oxymycterus here. Some seem to
have more orange on the ventral side.
In the afternoon Enrique, Noel, and Federico
went to set more traps near the bridge. We
left the 40 Sherman's there from the previous
night, and they added the other 80 Sherman's there,
plus some lines of snap traps. I stayed at
the house to continue shining since we
had several animals to do still.
Enrique left in the evening because he had
to take the bus back to Montevideo. At the house
we finished shining and got to bed a bit earlier
since we needed to pull the traps early in
the morning and get the vehicle back to
Montevideo since another group was going in
