摘要: We report four opportunistic field observations of a species Abrocoma in Polylepis besseri woodlands Cochabamba Department, Bolivia. These sug- gest significant aspects sp. natural history: 1) they have arboreal activity, 2) may be specialized herbivores that feed on leaves, 3) diurnal and 4) docile behavior. represent the first descrip- tions behavior ecology an abrocomid Bolivia, also suggest woodlands, threatened Andean habitat, provide important habitat for mammal such as
