Abstract

Panthera onca is the largest feline in America. Its diet has been studied in several countries, and reptiles have been identified as part of it. Despite being one of the most studied felines in Mexico, the depredation of P. onca towards crocodiles had not been documented with photographic evidence until now. This note documents for the first time with a photograph, a Crocodylus moreletti depredated by a P. onca, in southeastern Mexico.
