    (Austrian Herpetological Society, 2015-01-30) Montalvo, Víctor Hugo; Alfaro-Alvarado, Luis Diego; Sáenz-Bolaños, Carolina; Carrillo, Eduardo
    Due to its large Neotropical range, the diet of the jaguar reflects the local spectrum of potential prey species and, thus varies by region (DE OLIVEIRA 2002). Although the cat has a marked preference for mammals, there are reported cases in which reptiles were eaten (EMMONS 1989; CHINCHIllA 1997; FONSECA et al. 2009; SALERA et al. 2009; CAVALCANTI & GESE 2010; PLATT & RAINWATER 2011; PAÉZ et al. 2012; VERÍSSIMO et al. 2012). These authors recorded predation of four species of sea turtle, Iguana iguana (LINNAEUS, 1758), Caiman crocodilus (LINNAEUS, 1758), Melanosuchus niger (SPIX, 1825), Crocodylus acutus (CUVIER, 1807) and the turtle species Podocnemis expansa (SCHWEIGGER, 1812), Podocnemis unifilis TROSCHEl, 1848, Chelonoidis denticulata (LINNAEuS, 1766), Chelonoidis carbonaria (SPIX, 1824) and Platemys platycephala (SCHNEIDER, 1792).
