Theiving Wounder

A theiving wounder (Latinotroodon corvomimoides) is a species of small wounder native to the forests of Brazil, Argentina, and Chile. It is an omnivore that mainly feeds on arthropods, fish, frogs, smaller reptiles, birds, eggs, small mammals, carrion, fruits, and leaves, but can also feed on man-made food. It can grow to be around 5-5.4 feet long and weigh around 45-50 pounds when fully grown. Theiving wounders named for their habits of stealing eggs of birds and other wounders to eat them. Theiving wounders are solitary animals, living most of their lives alone, but the males often find females to mate with during breeding seasons. The conservation status of the theiving wounder is Least Concern due to successful conservation efforts and the theiving wounders' tolerance to human activities, including being able to adapt to life in the cities and suburbs.
