Mt. Cacagualique, Dept, San Miguel, Salvador
Nov., 21, 1925 - Dec., 13, 1925
Conepatus
- Gorillas
Two females were taken by me
in traps set in the Sub-tropical zone.
No. 10750 was caught in a well
worn trail at the base of a rocky
cliff in dense tangled brush. Her
stomach contained dirt and some
pieces of dead weeds. She was very fat.
Unfortunately in killing this specimen
I broke her skull. No. 10853 was
taken in dense heavy brush in
a hole under a large rock. Her
stomach contained Nematode parasites.
Neither of these specimens showed
signs of fear or pugnaclity when I
approached.
