Abstract
Invasive species are the second cause of biodiversity decline in the world. Among the many invasive species, the Sus scrofa (wild boar) is amongst those that cause more impacts. Our aim was to report the presence of the wild boar in the last remaining open area of Cerrado in the São Paulo state, Brazil. In September 2007 an individual was seen and tracks were also observed during the same period at the Estação Ecológica de Itirapina.
Highlights
Among the invasive mammal species, Sus scrofa is quite worrying and can be considered as one of the 100 worst invasive alien species (Deberdt and Scherer 2007), due to the economic damage and environmental it can cause in farms (Schley and Roper 2003) and reserves

The record of wild boar in the Estação Ecológica de Itirapina occurred in September 2007 and was made through direct observation of a single animal walking through a firebreak that comes along the gallery forest of the Rio do Lobo
