Item Opportunistic predation of Carollia brevicauda (Schinz, 1821) (Chiroptera: Phylostomidae) by Marmosa demerarae (Thomas, 1905) (Marsupialia: Didelphidae) in the Brazilian Amazon(2022-03-03) Alencastre-Santos, Ana Beatriz; Correia, Letícia Lima; Sousa, Loyriane Moura; Silva, Claudia Regina; Vieira, Thiago BernardiBat predator-prey interactions are still poorly known. Following this diagnosis, this work aims to report an event of opportunistic predation of silky short-tailed bat (Carollia brevicauda) by Long-furred woolly mouse opossum (Marmosa demerarae) in the Brazilian Amazon. The event took place on April 10, 2021, in a cocoa plantation. The bat individual that was preyed upon was an inactive adult female trapped in a mist net, approximately 40 cm from the ground. The predation of bats that are trapped in mist nets reinforces the idea of opportunistic predation and may explain the consumption of a vertebrate by an insectivorous marsupial.
