“…Cabrera & Yepes (1960) considered the predation of a small sized deer, like the Pygmy Brocket, by P. yagouaroundi a possibility. However, Oliveira (1998) believes that remains like this indicate the consumption of carcasses or, alternatively, could represent a young individual. Invertebrates are commonly listed for the diet of P. yagouaroundi (e.g.…”

Abstract:The diet of some sympatric carnivore species in three Atlantic Forest remnants of Southern Brazil was studied in order to assess their food niche. We conducted monthly field trips between February 2003 and January 2004 to collect fecal samples that were subsequently examined together with others collected sporadically between November 1994 and January 2003. Of the 416 samples analysed, 198 had the "author" species identified through microscopic analysis guard hairs, which revealed the presence of 10 carnivores and some information about their diet. Puma yagouaroundi had the largest dietary niche breadth, whereas Leopardus tigrinus and Nasua nasua showed the lowest values. Extensive niche overlap was observed between L. tigrinus and N. nasua, L. tigrinus and L. wiedii, and between L. tigrinus and L. pardalis. Data presented here not only increases the understanding of carnivore feeding ecology, but also contributes towards their conservation in the study region and other fragmented landscapes in Brazil and neighboring countries.

“…This species occurs in a variety of biomes, including tropical forests, wetlands and savannas (Caso 2013). Its diet consists largely of small mammals, and to a smaller extent of birds and reptiles (Oliveira 1998;Guerrero et al 2002;Tófoli 2009). In contrast to most other wild cats, the jaguarundi has a diurnal activity pattern (Maffei et al 2007;Caso 2013).…”

Ex situ management of wildlife provides a possibility for species maintenance, research development and environmental education. But as captive facilities are usually much smaller than the area occupied by a species in the natural habitat, cleaning might be insufficient, domestic species such as cats might be in close proximity, and wild animals in captivity are inevitably stressed, animals kept in these facilities are more at risk of acquiring parasitic infections. Therefore, an appropriate prophylactic protocol and consequent anti-parasitic therapy of affected animals are fundamental for any wildlife conservation center. This report describes the procedures adopted in a conservation center for wild felines in which four adult Jaguarundis were diagnosed with severe infection with gastrointestinal parasites and flea infestation. Two animals died and based on the necropsy findings and fecal examinations, infections with Ancylostoma caninum and Toxocara cati were diagnosed, as well as severe infestations with Ctenocephalides felis felis fleas, all common parasites of domestic cats. We discuss the applied therapy and the adopted environmental management, along with the importance of regular health assessments and a preventive medicine program for this species in captivity.

“…Although the sampled species hold peculiar habitat preferences (Chinchila, 1997;Jácomo et al, 2004;Nuñez et al, 2000;Oliveira, 1998), recent studies show that animals may adapt to modifications in their original habitats (Morán-López et al, 2006;McDougall et al, 2006;Sánchez-Hernandéz et al, 2001;Tabeni et al, 2005). The present study indicates the registered carnivores use the habitats indistinctively in the study area.…”

“…Historicamente encontrava-se em ambientes florestais e evitava campos abertos (Ihering, 1968). Estudos recentes mostram que dentre os pequenos felinos é o que apresenta maior flexibilidade quanto ao uso de habitat (Oliveira, 1998), com atividades diurnas e noturnas. Sua dieta é composta de pequenos animais, como ratos, lagartos e aves (Oliveira, 1998 …”
