Arid Wounder

An arid wounder (Latinotroodon chiliensis) is a species of medium-sized wounder native to the arid scrublands and deserts of Argentina and Chile. It is an omnivore that mainly feeds on arthropods, fish, frogs, smaller reptiles, birds, eggs, small mammals, carrion, fruits, and leaves, but can also feed on man-made food. It can grow to be around 11 feet long and weigh around 70-85 pounds when fully grown. Arid wounders are solitary animals, living most of their lives alone, but the males often find females to mate with during breeding seasons. The conservation status of the arid wounder is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the arid wounders' tolerance to human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
