Chacoan Peccary Catagonus wagneri
Also called the taguá, it is found in Paraguay, Bolivia, and Argentina. It lives in the hot, dry Gran Chaco region, dominated by low-lying succulents and thorny bushes. It uses its tough snout to roll cacti on the ground, rubbing the spines off before eating. It may pull off the spines with its teeth and spit them out.
