In this study, we provide a list of the medium- to large-sized mammals that inhabit the southern Serra do Amolar. We carried out a survey at Engenheiro Eliezer Batista Private Natural Heritage Reserve and Santa Tereza ranch from March 2009  to May 2013. We used non-invasive methods to generate a list of 33 mammal species from 18 families, including Endangered species such as the giant otter (Pteronura brasiliensis), Vulnerable species such as the lowland tapir (Tapirus terrestris), and Near Threatened species such as the jaguar (Panthera onca), highlighting the importance of this area for mammal conservation in a regional context.https://checklist.pensoft.net/article/18925/download/pdf/
