Magaly When arrived at the center of Animal Bahia was a tame animal kept in captivity 'since childhood. In addition to the terrible conditions in which he maintained was necessary groped its reintroduction in the wild since the case of endangered species. So during his rehabilitation It has been left as much as possible without contact with humans. Only when the officer came into the power of the pen. The first few days and Magaly 'was fed to raw meat, liver, chicken and fish. After a while the food was hidden and we have observed with satisfaction that Magaly has always managed to find them. Three months later, following the dictates of the veterinary aprendistato Begin the hunt. He was offered a live rabbit and to our great relief of his predatory instinct is awakened. Unfortunately lõfferta of live prey and 'need for rehabilitation. In the days prior to the provisional release of the quails were offered. We tried to simulate hunting quail putting the two in a box so when Magaly overturned the box would have been ahead of the two animal fleeing in different directions. Every attempt has' been successful. The next day we found the feathers of the quail eaten and the body `s other quail in his lair for a meal the next day.
