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.
