Mustangi, Meika A. 1993 journal 34 Sítio Até'Que Entim - SP of years ago inside the "store house". She tried to raise them but they died sometime later. She preserved one of the young in alcohol. The ranch is quite small ( ). The house is surrounded by a 30-40 yr-old forest, that Seu Antônio proudly preserves. He says that one can see many animals (birds and small mammals) in this little forest. The zan forest extends, in the neighbouring properties. There is no flowing water inside Seu Antônio's area, but it probably emerges at some point nearby. The area where the ranch lies has a few natural/ dammed pools (= "açudes"). Ricardo Boulhosa came with me and stayed for a couple of days. We set up 20 station, w/ the usual 1 Tomahawk and 1 Sherman on the ground and 1 Sherman tied to a branch at 1.5-2.0m. A bait I used guava preserve ("goiabada") and mortadela (kind of sausage). Later I tried sardines mixed w/ oatmeal but it didn't seem to increase neither quality (diversity) nor quantity (abundance) of animals captured. *other side of page Weather remained warm days (20°C ±) and cool-cold nights (15°C, one or two days it went down to 5°C).
