The photograph was published by Eduardo Beltrocco and is part of the EcoRegistros biodiversity database.
Pedí que se suba el alta para Holochilus sp. ya que en Santa Fe puede haber 2 especies y la única manera de comprobarlo es comparando los cráneos. Un licenciado en biodiversidad ya recolectó varios ejemplares (posiblemente muertos por culpa de un rodenticida en la soja!!) para comparar los maxilares y ver realmente si sólo se trata de H. brasilensis o si puede ser H. chacarius...
