Given the scarcity of information this article aimed to survey the main injuries and causes of deaths of wild mammals kept in captivity was made, through the post mortem diagnosis and who passed through the Wild Animal Screening Center (Centro de Triagem de Animais Silvestres - CETAS) of Rio Branco - Acre, Brazil, from September 2012 to September 2015. After death, the animals were kept refrigerated or frozen until the time of necropsy, using the standard technique for small mammals. Fragments of organs and tissues were collected, and the material was processed for histopathology using formalin fixation (10.0%), paraffin impregnation, hematoxylin, and eosin staining, in 4.0 µm thick sections. 42 animals were submitted to necropsy, 27 males (64.3%) and 15 females (35.7%), of which 21 were adults (50.0%), 15 were puppies (35.7%) and six were young (14.3%). The main cause of death was a hypovolemic shock (11.6%), followed by starvation (9.3%). There were also many deaths from undetermined causes (11.6%). A greater occurrence of deaths was registered in the Guariba monkey (<em>Alouatta senicullus</em>). The identification of necropsy findings and the interpretation of macroscopic lesions showed that cardiovascular lesion was the most common death. There does not seem to be an influence between the dry and rainy periods on the number of deaths of these animals.</p>}, number={2}, journal={Multidisciplinary Sciences Reports}, author={Silva, Raimunda Beserra da and Morais, Giovana Barbosa and Maggi, Luis Eduardo and Souza, Vanessa Lima de and Carvalho, Yuri Karaccas de and Ribeiro, Vânia Maria França and Santos, Francisco Glauco de Araújo}, year={2021}, month={dez.} }
