Eira barbara (Linnaeus) View in CoL

Although tayras are common at Paracou, where they are sighted on average about 10– 12 times a year by forestry workers (P. Petronelli, personal commun., 1993), we saw only three in the course of our fieldwork: RSV encountered a solitary individual in well­drained primary forest at 14:45 hours on 9 July 1991, DPL saw one crossing a dirt road in the daytime on 6 November 1992, and Nancy A. Voss sighted another in primary forest on an unrecorded date in 1994.
