Greater Gray Wounder

A greater gray wounder (Latinotroodon silvestris) is a species of medium-sized wounder native to the forests of Argentina, Chile, Brazil, Peru, and Bolivia. 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 13 feet long and weigh around 85-90 pounds when fully grown. Great gray 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 great gray wounder is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the great gray wounders' tolerance to human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
