In this research is reported for the first time to Neogale frenata (Long-tailed weasel) in adjoining active colonies (AC) of Cynomys mexicanus (Mexican prairie dog) at southeast of Coahuila, Mexico. The presence in the place is relevant because it is part of the trophic networks as a predator of many species. In the period from 2018 to 2022 were made six records of individuals at sites associated with medium-wide open grassland in the adjoined areas and inside AC at southeast of Coahuila, Mexico. By literature review validated the presence of the species in the study area, finding that the records are new and not reported in another source. The management of the pasture of the area studied is directed to livestock and the low population density of human settlements were conditions that favoured the presence of the N. frenata.
