Capturing cats is no easy task, but luckily, we have managed to a record breaking of unbelievable 141 individuals!  Animals were caught for a series of motives, mostly to attend Brazilian environmental regulations related to studies of environmental assessments and/or monitoring (the majority), or purely scientific.

Success can be 1 cat/night but, on special occasions, it could get up to 5 cats/day. This has happened before, believe it or not!

• These captures comprise the leading researchers career achievements. Animals captured were either radio-collared (few due to lack of funds) and/or had biological samples collected for disease or genetic analyses.
