Abstract	A report on fossil remains of carnivores from the Quaternary of Serra da Bodoquena (Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil), recovered from two limestone flooded caves, is presented. A total of six species could be identified belonging to three carnivore families, namely Felidae (Smilodon populator, Panthera onca, Leopardus braccatus), Canidae (Protocyon troglodytes, Chrysocyon brachyurus) and Mustelidae (Pteronura brasiliensis), a mosaic of extinct and extant species presumably related to the Holo-Pleistocene fauna of the region. These findings support in part previous suggestions of a paleoecological scenario of open savannas rich in wetlands for the Quaternary environment of Serra da Bodoquena. RESUMO: Carnivoros (Mammalia, Carnivora) do Quaternario da Serra da Bodoquena, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil. Uma primeira apreciacao relativa aos fragmentos fosseis de carnivoros do Quaternario da Serra da Bodoquena (Mato Grosso do Sul, Brasil) e apresentada. A amostra analisada foi recuperada em duas cavernas submersas e, presumivelmente, representam depositos de origem associada ao intervalo entre Pleistoceno inferior e o Holoceno. Esta hipotese e corroborada pela megafauna de mamiferos associada. Seis especies puderam ser identificadas, compreendendo tres familias de Carnivora: Felidae (Smilodon populator, Panthera onca, Leopardus braccatus), Canidae (Protocyon troglodytes, Chrysocyon brachyurus) e Mustelidae (Pteronura brasiliensis), retratando, assim, um mosaico de especies recentes e extintas da fauna de carnivoros que compoem a regiao. Estes achados suportam parcialmente sugestoes anteriores de um cenario paleoecologico de savanas ricas em areas umidas para o Quaternario da Serra da Bodoquena. Palavras chave: Mammalia. Carnivora. Quaternario. Serra da Bodoquena. Cavernas Submersas.
