ABSTRACT. Note on fhe behrvior oI .a lndivldtttl ot Cryptutcuus undulams datlng thc llood ol the
lower JrFtri River, AmrzoD.s, Br.sil (Iimmiformca: TtDamld..). An indi vidu'alof Cryptur.llus undulatus,
a tcrrestrial species,was observedcrossing the Japurd River from raaea to terru fitme during the annual
flood. There arc apparcntly few .eco.ds of lhis kind of behavior. An implication of rhis behaviot is that
sunounding areasof cons€rvationunits should also bc prcservedas buffer zones.
