It is thought to mostly predate on aquatic prey, particularly macroinvertebrates; yet anecdotal information and recent genetic-based findings suggest higher flexibility in its trophic niche. Here, we report on direct observations of wild-caught Pyrenean desmans attacking, killing and consuming live fish (trout \u2013 <jats:italic>Salmo trutta fario<\/jats:italic>) and amphibians (Iberian frog \u2013 <jats:italic>Rana iberica<\/jats:italic>) in semi-captivity conditions providing unquestionable evidence (photos and videos) of vertebrate attack, killing, handling and consumption by the species. This illustrates the species\u2019 ability to kill and eat vertebrates, corroborating recent evidence on its trophic flexibility.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1515\/mammalia-2018-0111","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,5]],"date-time":"2018-12-05T09:03:32Z","timestamp":1544000612000},"page":"479-482","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Direct observations of vertebrate killing and consumption by the endangered Pyrenean desman (<i>Galemys pyrenaicus<\/i>)"],"prefix":"10.1515","volume":"83","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-9703-0171","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Lorenzo","family":"Quaglietta","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CIBIO\/InBio, Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Biodiversidade e Recursos Gen\u00e9ticos , Universidade do Porto , Vair\u00e3o, 4485-661 Vair\u00e3o , Portugal"},{"name":"CEABN\/InBIO, Centro de Ecologia Aplicada \u201cProf Baeta Neves\u201d, Instituto Superior de Agronomia , Universidade de Lisboa , Lisbon , Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pedro","family":"Beja","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CIBIO\/InBio, Centro de Investiga\u00e7\u00e3o em Biodiversidade e Recursos Gen\u00e9ticos , Universidade do Porto , Vair\u00e3o, 4485-661 Vair\u00e3o , Portugal"},{"name":"CEABN\/InBIO, Centro de Ecologia Aplicada \u201cProf Baeta Neves\u201d, Instituto Superior de Agronomia , Universidade de Lisboa , Lisbon , Portugal"}]}],"member":"374","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,12,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"2023040100285210880_j_mammalia-2018-0111_ref_001_w2aab3b7c64b1b6b1ab2b1b1Aa","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"Biffi, M., F.
