Participants will join UC Davis Ph.D. candidate Marcella Kelly in observing, photographing, and tracking these creatures - especially small cats like the margay, jaguarundi, and ocelot. Additionally participants will assist in capturing and tagging mesocarnivore prey species. The team will live in dorms at the Las Cuevas Research Station , a well-equipped modern facility 1,500 feet up in Belize s glorious Chiquibul National Park. Located in a broadleaf tropical rainforest, the park is home to chattering monkeys, multicolored birds such as scarlet macaws, and iridescent butterflies. Nearby, spectacular cave systems and Mayan ruins beckon.
Weather is warm.
