| description | This protected area is one of the most visited in the country. However, information regarding basic biodiversity inventories and especially for mammals is scarce (Jimenez-Alvarado et al. 2015). We present the first record for four species at TNP: porcupine (Coendou sp.), Brown-eared Woolly Opossum (Caluromys lanatus), Three-toed Sloth (Bradypus variegatus) and Neotropical otter (Lontra longicaudis). Reports came from sporadic encounters with park rangers and with the local
community during 2014 and 2015. All individuals were juveniles and were found in different sectors in TNP |
