ZUNIGA, Alfredo H  e  MUNOZ-PEDREROS, Andrés. Hábitos alimentarios de Puma concolor (Carnivora, Felidae) en bosques fragmentados del sur de Chile. Mastozool. neotrop. [online]. 2014, vol.21, n.1, pp.157-161. ISSN 0327-9383.

The diet of Puma concolor was seasonally surveyed in Predio Rucamanque, Araucanía, in southern Chile. Results showed higher prey diversity in winter and spring, being Pudu puda, Oryctolagus cuniculus, and Myocastor coypus the main diet components. These prey species, along with Sus scrofa, were the only species whose consumption varied significantly among seasons. Thus, a significant proportion of exotic species in its diet was observed, reflecting the anthropised condition of the study area.
