“…In the Yum Balam JCU (a protected area), jaguars feed mostly on brocket deer (Mazama temama), collared pecari (Pecari tajacu) and armadillo (Dasypus novemecintus; Avila-Nájera et al, 2018), but in nonprotected habitat there could be important changes in diet, as jaguars frequently prey on domestic dogs (Remolina-Suárez, 2014), and Jaguar 1 commonly visited the Playa del Carmen's landfill, probably searching for prey therein (González-Gallina et al, 2017a), such as black vultures (Coragyps atratus; González-Gallina et al, 2017b). We can thus assume that relative seasonal stability in the core area size in our study region could be attributed to the year-long availability not only of wild prey (Cavalcanti, 2008), which could be attracted by easy access to urban disposal zones, but also to prey items such as domestic dogs (Carral-García et al, 2021). Jaguar 1 home range size is the smallest for a male jaguar reported to date, and is considered largely attributable to the availability of human-related prey at the Playa del Carmen landfill (Gallina et al, 2017a).…”
