dc.description.abstract	This study describes records of scavenging behaviour of pumas Puma concolor at jaguar Panthera onca kills in Costa Rica. We set camera traps at fresh carcasses predated by jaguars on Nancite beach between March 2010 and July 2017. Pumas were recorded at four out of 70 monitored kills. Jaguars interacted with the carcasses mainly at night while pumas were more active during the day. Since little is known about pumas using jaguar kills as food resource it is important to continue our monitoring efforts to better understand this interaction.	es_CR
