Abstract
The Echimys chrysurus is a medium-sized rodent of the family Echimyidae found mainly in the Amazon, being rare and difficult to record. In this note, we describe the predation of E. chrysurus by an individual of Ornate Hawk-Eagle, Spizaetus ornatus, in a primary forest area, in western Pará, Brazil. This unprecedented record is an important contribution to the knowledge of the ecology and natural history of both species and provides important insights about their ecology and basic biology.
