The nests were visited by several mammal species including ine-banded armadillo, pigs, coati, Azara’s agouti, lesser and giant anteaters, capuchin monkeys, raccoon and possibly others. The nine-banded armadillo was the most frequent in the nests, as it was photographed in six out the eight nests, followed by the coati, which visited three out the eight monitored nests. The photographic records of the nine-banded armadillo preying on the eggs were all at night, between 18:55 to 04:53 h, while the coati were diurnal between 09:31 to 14:14 h. aAlligators aCaiman aPaleosuchus palpebrosus aPredators aJacaré aOvo aPredador1 aMOURÃO, G. tThe Herpetological Bulletingv. 166, p. 29-31, 2023.
