Abstract: In this note we show that a diffeomorphism which has a Hopf's bifurcation point, can be $C^2$ perturbed around the bifurcation point in order to get a diffeomorphism which exhibits homoclinic tangencies. In the $C^3$ case this is not possible because of the typical unfolding of a Hopf's bifurcation point.
