| description | Few felids have been recorded as being preyed upon by the Boa constrictor snake (Boa constrictor). Documentation of predation on felids by reptiles is scarce, and natural predators of the adult jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) are poorly known. Here, we report for the first time an adult male jaguarundi being eaten by the snake Boa constrictor (of 273 cm snout-to-vent length) at the Sierra Nanchititla Natural Reserve, Estado de México.<br>Pocos depredadores han sido registrados como presas de la Boa constrictor (Boa constrictor). La depredación de felinos por reptiles es escasamente documentada y los depredadores naturales del jaguarundi (Puma yagouaroundi) son pobremente conocidos. Aquí, nosotros informamos de un evento de depredación de un jaguarundi macho adulto que fue consumido por una B. constrictor (longitud hocico-cloaca: 273 cm) en la Reserva Natural Sierra Nanchititla, Estado de México. |
