Mustang, Meika A. 1992 Journal 23 Ubatuba - SP Brazil In the afternoon we set 60 more traps (20 Tomahawks + 40 Shermans). Presently MNFS 40, 45, and 52 are broken. Tom 72 was stolen from the trail at Fazenda da Toca. One Tomahawk was left on Carmo Aima Trail at Fazenda Intervalley (Tom 11). João, the owner of the pousada, took us to the creek that serves the area with water and there we set our traps today. The forest is older than on the hill where we put traps yesterday. We cut a trail through the forest, going up. Bait again was banana, manioc, peanut butter (only Tomahawks) and some apple left over from yesterday. João said that saruê, a Marmosa-like creature is common around here. The description looks like Micoureus cinereus. The weather remains stable, temperature around 20°C, sky partially cloudy. It rained a little bit in the afternoon. This is the driest time of the year in this region. João knows the secretário geral of Instituto Florestal: José Timoni and offered some help w/ future authorizations.
