Los lugareños desconocían la presencia del animal en la zona. Según ellos, esta es la primer evidencia. Después de encontrar unos excrementos, decidí buscarlos por la madrugada, horas antes del amanecer. Al escuchar ruidos bruscos tomé la fotografía de la izquierda. Había como cinco ejemplares, muy desconfiados y asustadizos. Imposible acercarse. Vocalizaron en alerta y huyeron. Por la mañana encontré huellas y más excremento reciente. En zona privada, proy. área de resitución de selva autóctona
