This checklist of the medium- and large-sized mammals in the Furnas River Reserve is based on a survey made over several years when the reserve was being created, at least one other study (see reference below), and recent videos made with camera traps. Above: Cerdocyon thous (the crab-eating fox), which is a small species of canid. © Renato Rizzaro.
