About Collared Peccary: Today's puzzle features a collared peccary with its young in a dense, fern filled habitat. Collared peccaries are medium sized mammals native to the Americas, ranging from the southwestern United States through Central America and into South America. They belong to the family Tayassuidae and are closely related to pigs, but they are a distinct group with their own evolutionary history. The adult has a bristly coat that appears gray to black, with a lighter band or collar running around the neck and shoulders, which gives the species its name. They have a short snout, small ears, and sharp canine teeth that can be used for defense. The young, often called piglets, are lighter in color and stay close to the adult for protection. Collared peccaries are social animals that usually live in groups called herds, which can range from a few individuals to over a dozen. They communicate with each other using vocalizations and scent markings from a gland located on their back. Their diet is varied and includes roots, fruits, seeds, grasses, and small animals. They play an important role in their ecosystem by dispersing seeds and influencing vegetation. These animals are well adapted to a variety of environments, including deserts, scrublands, and tropical forests. They are most active during cooler parts of the day and rely on their strong sense of smell to find food and detect danger. // Image Credit: Wolf, Joseph, and Philip Lutley Sclater. 1861.

This species prefers dense forests and is often found at elevations between 1,500 and 3,500 meters. Temminck's tragopan is a ground-dwelling bird that feeds primarily on seeds, fruits, and insects.
