Resumen
Reportamos eventos inusuales de forrajeo en dos de los depredadores terrestres más invasivos del mundo que están bien establecidos en las islas del Caribe: la mangosta (Urva auropunctata), conocida localmente como jurón, y el gato doméstico/asilvestrado (Felis catus). La primera es bien conocida por ser una especie que vive y caza en el suelo, mientras que la última usualmente evita el agua. Documentamos al jurón trepando un árbol y a un gato cazando en el agua. Las observaciones fueron registradas en el sur de la República Dominicana, en la isla Hispaniola.
