Tayra (Eira barbara)

Not a common sight, and my first! The guide has lived at Pousada Xaraés for 8 years, and this was hist first sighting too!

This one was not so happy about our presence, and I think that’s due to a memory of widespread hunting.

It was a very brief encounter unfortunately.

Only after reaching the forest did it dare to look back at me.
