Description: | The Chacoan Mara is found in the South American Chaco - the dry thorny forests and grasslands of Argentina, Paraguay and Bolivia. It is a large rodent that looks similar to a rabbit and has a similar way of life. They live in small groups of up to four animals and feed on any available vegetation. They dig a burrow to sleep in at night. They can hop like rabbits but can also run at high speeds to escape predators. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East animals natural world | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
