Abstract

The crab-eating fox (Cerdocyon thous) is a Neotropical canid with a generalist and opportunistic diet that includes a wide variety of food items. On this note, we report the first record of predation on Rhinella marina by Cerdocyon thous in the state of Rondonia, Brazil, based on camera trap footage. For the state of Rondonia, there is no study reporting the prey of C. thous. Therefore, this report approaches important ecological knowledge of the crab-eating fox, portraying behaviors and diet of the species.
