Abstract

Panthera onca es el felino más grande de América, su dieta ha sido estudiada en diversos países, y se ha identificado que los reptiles son parte de ella. A pesar de ser uno de los felinos más estudiados en México, hasta ahora no se había documentado con evidencia fotográfica la depredación de P. onca hacia cocodrilos. En esta nota se documenta por primera vez en fotografía un individuo de Crocodylus moreletti depredado por un P. onca, en el sureste de México.Panthera onca is the largest feline in America. Its diet has been studied in several countries, and reptiles have been identified as part of it. Despite being one of the most studied felines in Mexico, the depredation of P. onca towards crocodiles had not been documented with photographic evidence until now. This note documents for the first time with a photograph, a Crocodylus moreletti depredated by a P. onca, in southeastern Mexico.
