Marbled Wounder

A marbled wounder (Latinotroodon lycanii) is a species of large wounder native to the deserts, scrublands, grasslands, and forests of Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia, and Central America. It is an omnivore that mainly feeds on arthropods, fish, frogs, smaller reptiles, birds, eggs, small mammals, pigs, peccaries, tapirs, deer, antelopes, camelids, carrion, fruits, and leaves, but can also feed on man-made food. It can grow to be around 17-18.3 feet long and weigh around 115-120 pounds when fully grown. Marbled wounders are social animals, living in packs consisting around 4-6 members, during the mating seasons, however, the males often fight each other to win a right to mate with females. The conservation status of the marbled wounder is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the marbled wounders' tolerance to human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
