On ocelots, anteaters and armadillos…
Category: Day by day | Date: Jun 30 2008 | By: jaguardetectives
Despite malfunction in two cameras we still increase our database on wildcats in Pontal and other important species. This is the first time we record a lesser-anteater (Tamandua tetradactyla) on our surveys.
The lesser-anteater.
As the cameras make no distinction between species, we are collecting information on mammal species abundance such as nine-banded-armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), important felid prey on neotropical forests. To promote predators conservation is vital to gather information on their prey.
Nine-banded-armadillo.
Does anybody risk to guess which ocelot is this one at Ponte Branca?
The SEE-U Brazil Companion finished last Friday. Was a great experience!

I had no idea that anteaters have such beautiful fur! Thank you for the pictures!
Fernando Lima, on 01 Jul 2008
Hi Sherri!!!
Yes, they have a wonderful fur! In some regions they call this specie in particular “lesser-anteater-with-vest” because of the black part, that looks as a vest!
All the best from Brazil,
Fernando

Hello Fernando~
I decided to take a guess as to this ocelot, judging by the spot pattern my guess would be that this is Theresa…am I right? She really loves the camera in Ponte Branca if it is!

I guess that beautiful ocelot is “Theresa”.
It would be useful to have the automated pattern recognition software that Seamus talks about on his WildlifeDirect blog, Kilimanjaro Lion Conservation Project!

Oi, Fernando! Acabei de ver seu blog através do Facebook da Kaitlin… Muito legais as fotos!!! Beijo, Ju.

Hi Kaitlin!!!
You are right!!! It is Theresa!!! If you are right on his preference by the cameras hope to get many more pictures!
No news from the “real” Theresa… : (

Hi Maggie!!!
You are also right!!! I think its is just a pleasure and part of the process to identify the individuals! Usually I love softwares, but to do this I prefer the old school and analyse each photo!
Cheers,
Fernando
