Resumo
The Cerrado is the second largest biome of Brazil and
one of the most threatened, mainly due to habitat conversion
and agricultural expansion. At the same time, the fauna of the
Cerrado is poorly known. In this study, undertaken from April
to July of 2012, we provide a checklist of the medium-sized
to large mammals recorded by camera traps in the Reserva
Particular do Patrimônio Natural Serra do Tombador, a private
protected area located in northern Goiás state. With a total
effort of 2,340 camera-days, we recorded 17 species including
rare and threatened species, among them jaguar (Panthera
onca), giant armadillo (Priodontes maximus), tapir (Tapirus
terrestris) and giant anteater (Myrmecophaga tridactyla). Our
results suggest that the surveyed protected area has importance
in the conservation of mammals in the Cerrado.
