The substitution of natural vegetation means habitat loss on species, and may put the survival of medium and large-sized mammal species under extinction risk. These species represent significant energy demands and high requirements of area within the habitat. This study aims to assess the species composition and the frequency of use of physiognomic types of vegetation by medium and large-sized mammals. The study was conducted from 2001 to 2011 using a set of complementary and alternative techniques in fragments of seven different physiognomic types of vegetation. Fourth-seven medium and large-sized mammals were registered. This record corresponds to 92% of species already described within the biome, and five additional species to those registered in the data base of the State of Tocantins. Fourteen of these species are at certain degree of threat of extinction. The most used physiognomic types of vegetation in terms of canopy cover were Cerradao, Typical Cerrado, Riparian Forest and Dense Cerrado, and the less used were Gallery Forest, Campo Sujo and Vereda. 2019 artículo científico 1679-9283 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=187160125035 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1871/187160125035/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1871/187160125035/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1871/187160125035/187160125035.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/1871/187160125035/movil https://doi.org/10.4025/actascibiolsci.v41i1.45684 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=1871 Acta Scientiarum.
