Dear Friends,
Just a brief message to let you all know that this morning there was another tapir inside one of our traps!!! Our second capture in 3 days! This time it was an adult male, a large one with an estimated weight of approximately 250 kg. Once again the manipulation went really well and we managed to collect all the samples we need for the epidemiological analysis.
Please continue to keep your fingers and toes crossed and wish us luck!!!! Enjoy the pictures!
You all take care,
Pati
