Pecari Tajacu (Collared Peccary) A //Collared Peccary is like a wild hog. The collered peccary lives in the steppe where it rains 10-30 inches a year and is 40 degrees Celcius in the summer and -40 degrees celcius in the winter. This pig-like animal is a mammal and has small feet for running fast, flat nose to dig, roll, turn, or lifting objects. The collared peccary is a consumer and prey. My animal is in many food chains. Here is one of them : grasses> mice> collared peccary--> mexican wolf. This animal eats berries, bulbs, tubers, cacti pear (a.k.a. prickly pear), mice, and lizards. It lives in hollow logs, caves, or burrows from other animals. Sometimes called musk hogs because they smell so bad. They also live in a herd of 6-30 hogs. Young stay with their mother for around two to three months. They are an endangered animal. Farmers killed them because they kill their plants.... poor pigs.// <-- Adult
