	Chacoan peccary - Catagonus wagneri: More Information - ARKive
		The Chacoan peccary was first described from subfossil remains collected in the 1930’s, but was not recognised as a living species until 1975, making it one of the most recently discovered large mammals (4).
		Chacoan peccaries are patchily distributed over a total known range of approximately 140,000 km², in central South America, extending from western Paraguay and south-eastern Bolivia to northern Argentina (4).
		Chacoan peccaries maintain territories, using scent glands on the back to mark home ranges which may measure up to 1,100 hectares in size, but with smaller care areas of about 600 ha (4).

	Chacoan Peccary (Catagonus wagneri) Fact Sheet, 2001 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-14)
		Chacoan peccaries evidently adapt to land degraded by fire and overgrazed by livestock as long as ample food and cover are available and they are not overhunted.
		Peccaries are distinguishable from pigs by having upper canines that are relatively small and point down, as opposed to the large, upper canines of pigs that curve upward and outward.
		The Chacoan peccary's habit of scent marking, use of scat stations, limited overlap between home ranges, and where their ranges do overlap, use of the same area at different times suggest that defended areas (i.e., territories) are maintained.

		Peccaries, (or 'pecari', a Brazilian Tupi word for 'an animal which makes many paths through the woods'), also known as tayassuids ('gnawers of roots'), are endemic to the Americas, their known fossil record extends back approximately 37 million years in North American late Eocene deposits.
		Peccaries are most closely related to Old World pigs, or suids, and are in the Order Artiodactyla (even-toed ungulates), a group of ungulates (e.g., camels, goats, giraffes, cows, deer, hippos) that share in common a double-pulley ankle, among other characteristics.
		Peccaries are distinguished from pigs by numerous anatomical characters: the presence of a scent gland located just above the tail, a complex stomach with a reduced liver and no gall bladder, fused foot and leg bones, fewer than four toes, and a short tail.

	Chacoan peccary
		The Chacoan peccary's bristly coat is a speckled charcoal or brownish-grey, interspersed with long guard hairs which may be up to 22 cm / 8.8 inches long.
		When frightened, Chacoan peccaries flee, raising the long hairs on their back and spraying secretions from their dorsal gland, presumably to keep the group together in the dense brush via odor.
		The Chacoan peccary is classified as endangered by the IUCN (1996).

		Peccaries constitute a major source of meat for many rural and indigenous people in Central and South America, and they are often the most important animals hunted in both frequency and harvested biomass (Vickers, 1984; Redford and Robinson, 1987).
		The number of peccaries hunted is determined by the value of meat either as a source of income or food, and not by the hides.
		Studies of selected peccary populations are required to determine the relationship between hunting pressure and the age structure and density of those populations in representative areas.

		Peccaries belong to the mammal family Tayassuidae (3 species) and are native to the New World, while pigs belong to the family Suiidae (16 species) and are native to the Old World.
		The Collared Peccary has a higher tolerance to hunting by humans and to man-made habitat alterations than the White-lipped Peccary, and so survives better than the latter species in areas where human settlements are more numerous (Altrichter and Boaglio 2004).
