| It was a tayra, a large, weasel-like mustelid, one of the real gems of New World rainforests. |
| When Foster lost his funding, he left Matola with custody of two jaguars, a puma, an anteater, a tayra, three coatimundis, five curassows, and a cage of parrots. |
| The tayra occasionally eats poultry and raids corn and sugar fields, but damage is usually minimal. |
| The tayra is larger than the grison, and while the grison lives on the ground in more open country, the tayra is a forest animal and lives in trees. |
| Tayra DeHart, 33, said she had last heard from her husband, a soldier at the post, that he was safe, but that was hours earlier. |
| I report here an observation of attempted predation by a tayra in the western Amazon, in Acre, Brazil. |
