Field Notes

Description:

I was going home and decided stop to piss. So, I found this group. It were eating bamboo shoots and some insect larvae. They were a little agitated with my presence... One of them was approaching (the specimen from the first picture), but my cellphone rang and it stepped back.

Habitat:

I found this group in a bamboo forest, on the edge of a river. In a transition region between the Atlantic Forest and Cerrado.

Notes:

I can count about 8 individuals.
I see the same group in a different local: [ http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/32758210 ]
