Abstract

HIDALGO-MIHART, Mircea G.  and  CONTRERAS-MORENO, Fernando M.. White lipped pecaries (Tayassu pecari) recorded in the area of Términos Lagoon Campeche, México. Rev. Mex. Biodiv. [online]. 2012, vol.83, n.3, pp.868-871. ISSN 2007-8706.  https://doi.org/10.7550/rmb.26933.

We report at least one group of white lipped peccaries (Tayassu pecari) in Selva La Montaña located in the southwestern portion of the Términos Lagoon Flora and Fauna Protection Area, Campeche, Mexico. The record was obtained using camera traps. The presence of this species in the area shows the importance of the region for biodiversity conservation, particularly for protected species.

Keywords : Selva La Montaña; camera traps; protected species; Mexico.
