Field Notes

Description:

Like a large mongoose with ringed pattern on the tail

Habitat:

Apparently all over Iguazu area. In one video my sister took they are squabbling over food discarded by tourists in food-courts. My sister says they stole a packet of crisps from a tourist and viciously fought over it...so I think these animals are becoming urbanized.

Notes:

This photo was taken by my sister Dr Sutapa Ray and she is happy for me to post it on PN. I shall be posting other photos taken by her and my brother in law too!
