Abstract | In the Brazilian Pantanal, we observed collared
peccaries (Pecari tajacu) associating with South American
coatis (Nasua nasua) 13 times and three times with black
howler monkeys (Alouatta caraya). The scansorial coati
drop fruit whilst feeding that both collared peccaries and
other coatis consume. Young coatis were also observed
chewing on the pulp left over from seeds spat out by
collared peccaries who had removed the hard exocarp. Both
species react to each other’s alarm calls. Peccaries also
benefited from the fruits dropped by black howler
monkeys. Ecologically, coatis are omnivores; but taxonomically,
they are carnivores. To our knowledge, the collared
peccary/coati association is the first report of an interspecific
association between an ungulate and a carnivore. | pt_BR |
