The tips of the splayed toes at 120 mm. Then,
perhaps 400 m further west at the junction of CC &
SUA we found fresh Felis concolor tracks heading
east, with a pad of 55 mm and parallel toes of
82 mm. Identification of the respective tracks
seems unambiguous based on shape & size, vide
J. Emmons new guide to rainforest mammals.
Before lunch we also walked through the "research
swamp" at approx CES 200, where Wendy is studying frogs,
and out to CES 550', but saw no snakes. Floated
down the river this afternoon and saw one protruding rock
and two horizontal tree trunks (one fallen at river's
edge, are growing out from banks) w/ evidence of or
piles of Jutia longicaudus feces. approx 2200 hrs I
checked the Cantarana Swamp and saw a >=50 cm
Synbranchus protruding out from under a log. When I
caught the eel it instantly flipped a meter away
and was gone.
June 20 From approx 0800-1100 hrs Dave, Billie, and I walked out the
CES, LOC, and back in to the station by 550 ad
CCL. At 550-800 we found a very old cat scat --
or at least a pile of bone chips, teeth, and a little
fur in mid-trail. Also cf. ? Nopope borunius
on a tree trunk. From approx 2000 - 2200 hrs. we walked
out SOR # 5140 to the successional plots, then
through them and back in to the Sendero Cantarana
via SSE and SOR. At 1945 hrs Billie spotted
