E.B. Boracéia-SP
A Philander killed and ate an Oryzomys in the
lab. They were being kept in the same case because
of space limitations and the Philander, still young
individual broke the separation and got the mouse.
It ate the head and the hindquarters of the mouse
leaving the guts exposed. Akodon and Delomys
seem very keen on gnawing their way out through
cloth and cardboard.
Owl pellets were collected at its night site (sleeping)
just after our last trap station on trilha da cachoeira dos pilões. It was probably the predator of
some of our attacked traps.
On the way to the reserve we found a male
Philander run over on the road. We took
pictures. It looked like it had been hit on
the head.
Oryzomys and Delomys comprised most of our
captures.
We left Boracéia early Saturday morning
for São Paulo.
