MAMMALIAN
FAUNA AT THE NATURE RESERVE PALMARÍ
The following list contains
only species of mammals (or their unmistakeable footprints), which have been
seen on the premises and surroundings of the RESERVA NATURAL PALMARI as from
May 1.998 by at least two persons accompanied by one of our local guides. Confirmation
of the species has been obtained through the "Neotropical Rainforest Mammals"
(Louise H. Emmons) and "Mammals of the Neotropics" (Kent H.Redford
& John F.Eisenberg) field guides.The present list is constantly up-dated.
We wish to thank all participating
and reporting visitors, tour-guides, local guides and others, who did walk long,
sweat much, search a lot, row for hours and studied well in order to enhance
the present list.
Photographic copies (slides,
paper) and related informations concerning the below listed species may be obtained
by requesting them via e-mail from the RESERVA NATURAL PALMARI.
