Greene, H. 1998 August 9 (continued) the baby found yesterday under the same soto leaves (NB: the skin I found near her is not hers, as we located this baby's skin - based on head pattern - among those from the entrance to F29 site.) At 0900 Dave spots F38 under the boulder, stretching out of a hole at upper east end. He thinks she looks skinny, Marcio thinks she looks fat! At 1030h at site F21 we get signals of her, 36, 37 from under the rock, and Marcio sees 3-spot and 4-spot in shade at the entrance. Dave sees a total of four bobes, and they slowly crawl in out of site as he takes photos? After dark we road hunt and set five neonate (bottino) G. Stup w/in 2 miles E of Portal - the first yet seen. August 10 At 0740 as we drive Paradise Road toward our study area, a big male (?) javelina crosses a hundred meters or so ahead. At 1000 h all 3 transmitter signals came from under the rock at F21 site, and there is a fresh shed baby coiled next to a bunched up fresh bob skin in shade at the entrance. As we return to the car a Mephitis ambled in the ravine beside us.
