Abstract: The bush dog (Speothos venaticus) is a small Neotropical canid. Although its distribution covers the entire Amazon basin, the occurrence of bush dogs in vast areas of the Amazon remains hypothetical. The records of bush dogs presented in this study reduce a large gap in the known distribution of the species in Central Amazonia and include the 1st documentation of the species from forest seasonally flooded by black water (Igapo´). O cachorro-vinagre e´ um cani´deo Neotropical de pequeno porte. Apesar de sua distribuica˜o cobrir toda a Bacia Amazoˆnica, existem apenas alguns registros da espe´cie neste bioma. Portanto, a ocorreˆncia do cachorro-vinagre permanece hipote´tica em vastas a´reas da Amazoˆnia. Os registros de cachorro-vinagre apresentados neste trabalho reduzem uma enorme lacuna dentro da a´rea de distribuica˜o conhecida para a espe´cie na Amazoˆnia Central, e incluem a primeira documentaca˜o da espe´cie em floresta sazonalmente alagada por a´guas pretas (Igapo´).
