Abstract
In this work we report the finding of waste remains in puma feces in Los Glaciares National Park (LGNP), Santa Cruz province (Argentina). The residues were found in three puma feces collected on the trekking trails within the Park, and included the following items: thread, matches and two types of polyethylene. We recommend continuing with the analysis of puma feces, while incorporating samples from other carnivore species present in the park. This information will allow discerning whether animals are changing their feeding habits or if events like these are part of accidental consumption.
