Swamp Wounder

A swamp wounder (Latinotroodon amazonii) is a species of wounder (Troodontidae) that is native to the wetlands and rainforests of South America. 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 is a medium-sized animal, and can grow to the length around 9 feet long and weigh around 45-60 pounds. Swamp wounders are often found in large groups, although they don't actually hunt together as in most large hunting land vertebrates that lives in groups. The conservation status of the swamp wounder is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the swamp wounders' tolerance to human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
