8/23/25 branch where she was very likely feeding on termites, as I noticed there was a run up the tree. I had to shoot her with heavy shot as No. 5s wouldnt bring her down. The second shot paralyzed her hind parts so she proceeded on out toward the end of the limb in a hand over hand process with her well equipped front feet where she came crashing to the ground. Her front limbs were very heavily muscled. These appendages and the much enlarged claws are possibly used for tearing into termite nests and into dead wood for ants. Both termites and ants were found in her stomach. Her feet were very heavily padded. The forest where she was collected was very open. All the trees were tall and there was no under brush. The ground is thinly covered with a grass which is about knee high. However not far away is the mimosa brush (catclaw) which lines the banks of a lagoon that was formerly the river bed. August 24, 1925- Very warm today. No rain. As we were not able to get into the field very early today I had seven mice (Oryzomys) destroyed by ants. One wolly mouse was not found. These traps were set in the trash under the mimosa brush and baited with grains of corn.
