De las especies de mamiferos medianos y grandes que se sabe habitan al interior de esta reserva (Botello et al., 2006a, 2006b, 2013; Cruz-Jacome et al., 2015), este estudio no registro nutria (Lontra longicaudis), armadillo (Dasypus novemcinctus), zorrillo manchado (
Spilogale angustifrons) y dos especies de felinos (Puma concolor y Herpailurus yagouaroundi), tampoco fue posible identificar a cual especie de tlacuache pertenecian los registros que se obtuvieron (Didelphis marsupialis o D.
Las especies de talla mediana y grande estan representadas por especies con valor comercial como el pecari de collar (Dycotyles angulatus Cope, 1889) y el venado cola blanca (Odocoileus virginianus Zimmermann, 1780), y por carnivoros como el puma (Puma concolor Linnaeus 1771), el tigrillo (Leopardus pardalis Linnaeus 1758), el coyote (Canis latrans Say 1822), la zorra gris (Urocyon cinereoargenteus Schreber 1775), el tlacuache (Didelphis virginiana Kerr, 1792), algunas especies de zorrillos (Mephitis macroura Lichtenstein 1832; Conepatus leuconotus Lichtenstein, 1832;
Spilogale putorius Linnaeus, 1758) y el tejon (Nasua narica Linnaeus, 1766) (Perez et al., 1994; Estrada Portillo, 2010).
Two members of the
Spilogale genus occur within the United States, the eastern spotted skunk (S.
Thus, the skunk specimen reported herein clearly is not associated with striped skunk, hog-nosed skunks (Conepatus), nor spotted skunks (
Spilogale).
Of the carnivores, Black Bear (Ursus americana) and Spotted Skunk (
Spilogale gracilis) were detected most frequently, at 47% of our sample units.
