Resumen
La Taira (Eira barbara) es uno de los carnívoros menos estudiados y poco se conoce acerca de su historia natural. La especie posee hábitos alimentarios omnívoros y se caracteriza por ser cazadora oportunista sobre todo de roedores y crías de monos o perezosos. En esta nota reportamos la descripción de un evento de depredación por parte de una Taira a un Venado Soche (Mazama rufina), capturado mediante un video en el Parque Nacional Natural Chingaza, Colombia.
