The feeding habits of the maned wolf were studied in southeast Brazil to understand its response towards changes in the environment and in relation to its prey. By occurrence, miscellaneous fruits, small mammals and wolf's fruit were the most consumed items. Armadillos, small mammals and wolf's fruit (Solanum lycocarpum) provided most of the ingested biomass. While wolf's fruit and small mammals were mainly consumed in the dry season, other miscellaneous fruits were taken mostly in the wet season. There was selectivity in the predation on some small mammal species. The maned wolf's diet followed patterns similar to those found in more pristine areas. O habito alimentar do lobo guara foi estudado no sudeste do Brasil para descrever suas respostas as alteracoes do ambiente e em relacao as suas presas. Por frequencia de ocorrencia, as frutas silvestres, os pequenos mamiferos e a fruta-do-lobo foram os itens mais consumidos. Tatus, pequenos mamiferos e a frutas-do-lobo (Solanum lycocarpum) constituiram os itens mais importantes em relacao a biomassa ingerida. A fruta-do-lobo e os pequenos mamiferos foram consumidos principalmente na estacao seca, enquanto os demais frutos silvestres na epoca das chuvas. Houve selecao de algumas especies de pequenos mamiferos. A dieta do lobo guara apresentou padroes semelhantes aqueles encontrados em areas mais preservadas. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
