The authors analyzed the daily activity rhythms of the domestic cat and of eight of the ten feral felid species that are indigenous to South America. All species showed daily rhythmicity of activity in captivity under a natural light-dark cycle. The robustness of the rhythmicity varied from species to species, but the grand mean of 34% was within the range of robustness previously described for mammalian species ranging in size from mice to cattle. There was not a sharp division between diurnal and nocturnal felids. Instead, what was found was a gradient of diurnality going from the predominantly nocturnal margay (72% of activity counts during the night) to the predominantly diurnal jaguarundi (87% of activity counts during the day) with the remaining species lying in between these two extremes. The ecological implications of temporal niche variations are discussed.

“…The oncilla, traditionally considered to be a single species (Leopardus tigrinus), seems to encompass three distinct species, the one found in Argentina most likely being Leopardus guttulus [30]. It shares mountain forests and Andean moors with the puma and lowlands with the jaguar, puma, ocelot, jaguarundi, and margay [31].…”

“…Durante períodos de privação de nutrientes, um animal sadio vai perder glicogênio e gordura, e em contraste, pacientes doentes vão catabolizar massa corporal magra quando não forem providos suficientemente de calorias. Em animais debilitados, como o L. guttulus atendido, a resposta inflamatória é o gatilho que altera as concentrações de citocinas e hormônios e que rapidamente transforma o metabolismo para o estado catabólico [27]. Desta forma, o suporte nutricional para pacientes críticos é um importante componente do plano terapêutico.…”

Background: The southern tiger cat (Leopardus guttulus) is a vulnerable wild felid whose occurrence is restricted to the Atlantic Forest biome of Brazilian South and Southwest regions. Various strategies must be used to improve the conservation of species of felids, including preservation of forests and greater therapeutic support for animals in poor health condition. Enteral nutrition through a nasoesophageal tube is an option for patients in poor or critical condition; however, this procedure carries the risk of accidental ingestion of the tube. The objective of this work is to describe a conservative approach for the management of ingestion of a linear foreign body in a Leopardus guttulus patient.Case: A young female southern tiger cat was taken for veterinary treatment. The patient had an estimated age of nine weeks, 0.846 kg of body weight, and exhibited cachexia, hypothermia, severe dehydration, and apathy. During the examination, blood samples were taken, and initial treatment commenced with fluid therapy, antibiotic therapy, and anti-inflammatory therapy along with administration of analgesics and a gastric protector. Since the patient did not want to eat, it received a nasoesophageal feeding tube under mild sedation. The patient was positioned in sternal recumbency, its head was tilted up, and a no. 6 nasoesophageal tube was ventromedially inserted through the right nostril. The tube was later confirmed to be correctly positioned at the ninth intercostal space by a radiographic study. The feeding tube allowed administration of drugs and microenteral nutrition with a hypercaloric diet; this minimized handling of the patient, which preserved its wild behavior. After the seventh day of treatment, a piece of the tube was found lying at the bottom of the cage. Since ingestion of the remainder of the tube by the patient was suspected, it was taken to the diagnostic imaging division. At the ultrasonographic exam, the stomach exhibited hypermotility and was filled with a moderate amount of mucous content. The stomach wall was thin, and its stratified structure was preserved. Ultrasound imaging did not reveal any alterations suggestive of obstruction or inflammation such as free liquid, thickened wall, or loss of the stratified structure of the layers of the stomach. A hyperechoic tubular structure compatible with the feeding tube used was detected in the fundus of the stomach. After verification of the presence of the tube-derived material in the digestive system, the medical team opted for a conservative therapy consisting of administration of fibers, to increase intestinal motility. The patient was followed up daily by means of imaging exams. The patient did not exhibit signs of intestinal obstruction during the follow-up period. Two days after commencement of the conservative therapy, the remnant of the feeding tube that had been ingested by the patient was expelled along with the feces.Discussion: In spite of the accidental ingestion of the feeding tube by the patient, the use of this device was effective to provide nutritional and pharmacological support to the Leopardus guttulus cub, leading to its recovery. Managing malnutrition is fundamental for the recovery of any patient. Inappetence is alarming especially in felines, which quickly develop hepatic lipidosis during extended periods of anorexia. The conservative approach used, with the aid of serial imaging exams, was enough to treat ingestion of the linear foreign body by the patient.

“…The last specimen- 7 The oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), if it really does occur in our region (see above), has unreversed nuchal fur (Nascimento and Feijó, 2017). based revision was Pocock's (1941), who assigned all the Peruvian material he examined to the subspecies L. p. aequatorialis (Mearns, 1902), the type locality of which is in the Pacific lowlands of northern Ecuador. Although Eizirik et al (1998) suggested that several phylogeographic partitions are present within L. pardalis, their study did not include any western Amazonian sequence data, so the assignment of our material to any of the phylogroups they recognized is problematic.…”

“…The Matses description suggests the oncilla (Leopardus tigrinus), but other hunters consider the cachu bëdi to be a synonym for the margay. Although L. tigrinus was reported from Jenaro Herrera by Pavlinov (1994), we have not examined the voucher specimen (in Moscow), and in the absence of other records of this species from northeastern Peru (Nascimento and Feijó, 2017), we are reluctant to include it here.…”
