Zusammenfassung: | One subadult male specimen of a reintroduced mountain lion was monitored using the radio telemetry technique. The monitoring lasted 110 days, being randomly distributed. Data of the monitoring through radiotelemetry suggested that the home range of this specimen was of approximately 26[km.sup.2]. This sets as the smallest home range described for this species. However, the importance of this basic monitoring should be emphasized, since information of the behavior of a large feline reintroduced in its natural habitat after a period in captivity is incipient. Key word: big cat, animal reintroduction, Atlantic Forest. Um exemplar macho, subadulto de onca parda reintroduzido foi monitorado por tecnica de radiotelemetria. O monitoramento foi de 110 dias, realizado de forma aleatoria, com intervalos descontinuos. Os dados do acompanhamento sugerem que a area utilizada por este especime seja de, aproximadamente, 26[km.sup.2]. Esta configura o menor indice ja descrito para a especie, porem, deve-se ressaltar a importancia deste monitoramento basico, visto a incipiencia do comportamento de um felino de grande porte reintroduzido em habitat natural apos periodo em cativeiro.
