In the neighborhoods of the Primary School of Jútua, 6 kms to the NNW from the town of Soatá (Boyacá) have been collected some Pleistocene mammals. In spite of the not so good quality of the fossils, that prevents a clear determination at the species level, even in some cases at genus level, this collection is important, because it includes two taxons not previously reported from Colombia: Caninae indet. and?Neochoerus (Hydrochoeridae). The discovery of this fauna clarifies the origin of the Soatá fossils; they stem from two different places: Portugalete and Jútua, SSE and NNE from Soatá, respectively, some 9 kms apart.
