The Mysterious South American Tayra


Listen Later

Examines the tayra, a semi-arboreal mammal from Latin America often nicknamed the "honey badger of the jungle." It notes that tayras are smaller than wolverines but share a similar appearance. While traditionally considered mostly frugivorous, feeding on fruits and nuts, evidence suggests they may be more omnivorous, occasionally hunting small animals like monkeys and deer. The transcript also recounts the production team’s unsuccessful attempt to film a live tayra in Colombia.
