Resumo: Coatis (Nasua nasua) are terrestrials, despite their extreme ease of climbing trees, and have a complex social structure, where the males are solitary outside the reproductive season and the females live in groups with their pups and juveniles for most of the year. This study aimed to describe the use of habitat and social structure of a coati group in the Cantareira State Park, a fragment of the Atlantic Forest located in the metropolitan area of São Paulo. The behavior of these animals was observed in the fragment twice per week. The results showed that it was similar to that described in the literature, with a preference for the ground habitat rather than trees, the fact that the males are solitary (except at the time of reproduction), and the gregarious habit of females and their pups and juveniles.

O presente estudo teve como finalidade descrever o uso do habitat e estrutura social de um grupo de quatis no Parque Estadual da Cantareira, um remanescente de Mata Atlântica, situado na região metropolitana de São Paulo. Foi realizada a observação do comportamento dos animais em campo, com um esforço médio de duas vezes por semana. Os resultados apresentados foram semelhantes aos descritos na literatura, com a preferência do habitat chão a árvore e com machos solitários, exceto na época de reprodução, bem como o hábito gregário das fêmeas e seus filhotes e jovens.Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina2010-01-01info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2010v23n3p17510.5007/2175-7925.2010v23n3p175Biotemas; v. 23 n. 3 (2010); 175-1802175-79250103-1643reponame:Biotemas (Online)instname:Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)instacron:UFSCporhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/article/view/2175-7925.2010v23n3p175/14519Copyright (c) 2010 Deborah de Barros, Rita de Cássia Frenedozoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessde Barros, DeborahFrenedozo, Rita de Cássia2017-11-13T16:45:07Zoai:periodicos.ufsc.br:article/16017Revistahttp://www.biotemas.ufsc.br/index.htmPUBhttps://periodicos.ufsc.br/index.php/biotemas/oai||carlospinto@ccb.ufsc.br2175-79250103-1643opendoar:2017-11-13T16:45:07Biotemas (Online) - Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina (UFSC)false
