  • The Leopardus Tigrinus Is One of the Smallest Wild Cats in South America; and the Smallest Cat in Brazil (Oliveira-Santos Et Al
    Mckenzie Brocker Conservation Biology David Stokes 20 February 2014 Leopardus Tigrinus Description: The Leopardus tigrinus is one of the smallest wild cats in South America; and the smallest cat in Brazil (Oliveira-Santos et al. 2012). L. tigrinus is roughly the size of a domestic house cat, with its weight ranging from 1.8-3.4 kg (Silva-Pereira 2010). The average body length is 710 millimeters and the cat’s tail is roughly one-third of its body length averaging 250 millimeters in length. Males tend to be slightly larger than the females (Gardner 1971). The species’ coat is of a yellowish-brown or ochre coloration patterned prominently with open rosettes (Trigo et al. 2013). Cases of melanism, or dark pigmentation, have been reported but are not as common (Oliveira-Santos et al 2012). These characteristics spots are what give the L. tigrinus its common names of little spotted cat, little tiger cat, tigrina, tigrillo, and oncilla. The names tigrillo, little tiger cat, and little spotted cat are sometimes used interchangeably with other small Neotropical cats species which can lead to confusion. The species is closely related to other feline species with overlapping habitat areas and similar colorations; namely, the ocelot, Leopardus pardalis, the margay, Leopardus weidii, Geoffroys cat, Leopardus geoffroyi, and the pampas cat, Leopardus colocolo (Trigo et al. 2013). Distribution: The L. tigrinus is reported to have a wide distribution from as far north as Costa Rica to as far south as Northern Argentina. However, its exact distribution is still under study, as there have been few reports of occurrences in Central America.

  • 1 the Origin and Evolution of the Domestic Cat
    1 The Origin and Evolution of the Domestic Cat There are approximately 40 different species of the cat family, classification Felidae (Table 1.1), all of which are descended from a leopard-like predator Pseudaelurus that existed in South-east Asia around 11 million years ago (O’Brien and Johnson, 2007). Other than the domestic cat, the most well known of the Felidae are the big cats such as lions, tigers and panthers, sub-classification Panthera. But the cat family also includes a large number of small cats, including a group commonly known as the wildcats, sub-classification Felis silvestris (Table 1.2). Physical similarity suggests that the domestic cat (Felis silvestris catus) originally derived from one or more than one of these small wildcats. DNA examination shows that it is most closely related to the African wildcat (Felis silvestris lybica), which has almost identical DNA, indicating that the African wildcat is the domestic cat’s primary ancestor (Lipinski et al., 2008). The African Wildcat The African wildcat is still in existence today and is a solitary and highly territorial animal indigenous to areas of North Africa and the Near East, the region where domestication of the cat is believed to have first taken place (Driscoll et al., 2007; Faure and Kitchener, 2009). It is primarily a nocturnal hunter that preys mainly on rodents but it will also eat insects, reptiles and other mammals including the young of small antelopes. Also known as the Arabian or North African wildcat, it is similar in appearance to a domestic tabby, with a striped grey/sandy-coloured coat, but is slightly larger and with longer legs (Fig.

  • Non-Invasive Sampling in Itatiaia National Park, Brazil: Wild Mammal Parasite Detection

BMC Veterinary Research (2020) 16:295 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12917-020-02490-5 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Non-invasive sampling in Itatiaia National Park, Brazil: wild mammal parasite detection Laís Verdan Dib1, João Pedro Siqueira Palmer1, Camila de Souza Carvalho Class1, Jessica Lima Pinheiro1, Raissa Cristina Ferreira Ramos1, Claudijane Ramos dos Santos1, Ana Beatriz Monteiro Fonseca2, Karen Gisele Rodríguez-Castro3, Camila Francisco Gonçalves3, Pedro Manoel Galetti Jr.3, Otilio Machado Pereira Bastos1, Claudia Maria Antunes Uchôa1, Laís Lisboa Corrêa1, Augusto Cezar Machado Pereira Bastos1, Maria Regina Reis Amendoeira4 and Alynne da Silva Barbosa1,4* Abstract Background: Non-invasive sampling through faecal collection is one of the most cost-effective alternatives for monitoring of free-living wild mammals, as it provides information on animal taxonomy as well as the dynamics of the gastrointestinal parasites that potentially infect these animals. In this context, this study aimed to perform an epidemiological survey of gastrointestinal parasites using non-invasive faecal samples from carnivores and artiodactyls identified by stool macroscopy, guard hair morphology and DNA sequencing in Itatiaia National Park. Between 2017 and 2018, faeces from carnivores and artiodactyls were collected along trails in the park. The host species were identified through macroscopic and trichological examinations and molecular biology. To investigate the parasites, the Faust, Lutz and modified Ritchie and Sheather techniques and enzyme immunoassays to detect Cryptosporidium sp. antigens were used. Results: A total of 244 stool samples were collected. The species identified were Chrysocyon brachyurus, Leopardus guttulus, Canis familiaris, Cerdocyon thous, Puma yagouaroundi, Leopardus pardalis, Puma concolor and Sus scrofa.Therewere81.1% samples that were positive for parasites distributed mainly in the high part of the park.

  • Diversity of Medium and Large Neotropical Mammals in an Area of Mixed Rain Forest

E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Medium and large mammals (> 1 kg) were studied using camera traps with active sensors in a Conservation Unit located in an area of Mixed Rain Forest or Araucaria Forest (Atlantic Forest at altitude) in the South of Brazil, as a method for investigating the area’s conservation status and enabling comparison with other types of environments in which these mammals occur in the Neotropical region. From June 2005 to December 2010, a sampling effort of 10,844 trap-days yielded records of 21 species. A minimum sampling effort of 3000 trap-days was necessary to obtain records of all of these species. The species with the greatest frequency of photocaptures was Dasyprocta azarae (agouti), followed by Leopardus pardalis (ocelot), Leopardus guttulus (southern oncilla or little spotted cat) and Dasypus novemcinctus (nine-banded armadillo). The species with the lowest numbers of records were Pecari tajacu (collared peccary) and Chrysocyon brachyurus (maned wolf). Although the Conservation Unit studied has small physical dimensions, the diversity of species of medium and large mammals was comparable with what has been observed in other types of forests, in particular because there are still effective biological corridors in the area.

  • Northern Pantanal and Emas NP, 2019
    Brazil September and October 2019 An independent trip through northern Pantanal, Emas and co. Sophie and Manuel Baumgartner We travelled on our own on this trip once again. For us it was easy to organise, we always felt safe and everything went the way we planed it. I guess it’s good to book some popular Pousada in advance because it’s high season from august-october but it was also very exciting for us to have the freedom to be able to spontaneously discover new places like the municipal park of Alcinòpolis. We are certain that there is a lot more to discover than the already known places! Also, from what we understood, we saved a lot of money travelling that way, even though we rented good cars and stayed in very good hotels from time to time. We didn’t meet many people talking English (three in total) so we guess it’s probably good to either know some words of Spanish or Portuguese or to buy a SIM Card to Google Translate. It’s also probably good to take a lot of cash while you can. It was at that time impossible to get any cash nearby the Northern Pantanal (all of the banks of Poconé wouldn’t give us cash), the next possibility is Cuiaba. Drive with Gasoline instead of Ethanol, maybe buy a tank full of it and that’s it! This trip in South America was a very big success to us and we had numerous exciting mammal watching moments and experiences! Once more we experienced that finding nice mammals on our own is much more rewarding and we were happy to enjoy nice mammal watching moments on our own.
