TEMA: ENDANGERED ANIMALS Pudú Pudu is a genus of cervids native to the Andean region of South America, generally known as pudúes or also deer, due to its similarity to other cervids that bear that name. They are the smallest members of the cervid family. This species inhabits elven, cloud, and mountain forests throughout its range, and moist grasslands above the tree line mainly by the northern population, between 2,000 and 4,000 m. It moves in the undergrowth when it is inside the forest. The small size makes the species difficult to detect. It is located in central Peru, clearly isolated from populations in the north of the Peruvian Andes. • Scientific Name: PUDU • Classification: Mammals • Length: up to 90 cm • Weight: up to 10 kg • Feeding: Herbivore • Reproduction: Viviparous Andean bear The tremarctos ornatus, also called the Andean or frontino bear, is a small bear with a very distinctive appearance, especially because of its face, which is why it is also known as the spectacled bear. This bear is constantly threatened due to changes in the use of the territory, which has fragmented its original habitat, as well as hunting carried out by humans who come into conflict with it, or use parts of its body for traditional medicine and rituals. Other names it receives ● The ucumari ● South american bear It is an omnivorous animal. But with a mostly vegetarian diet. Its distribution range covers a strip of the Andes mountain range, from Venezuela to northern Argentina. The Andean bear is an endangered animal in Peru and other areas. One of the causes that has provoked its death is the destruction of its habitat. Currently, there are some conservation projects for this species. Seven more facts about the bear ●It can measure up to 2 m tall and weigh up to 130 kg, with males being larger than females. ●It is also known as "spectacled bear" because of the clear markings that some individuals have around their eyes. ●What do panda bears have in common with Andean bears? They both have a large head compared to the rest of their bodies! ●In addition to plant matter, they eat insects. Rarely, eggs, and animal meat. ●They build platforms on top of trees where they take naps and carry their food to digest. ●They don't hibernate. ●The young are called cubs. Normally, a female has 2 to 4 pups per pregnancy. Giant Otter This mustelid is also known as the choker wolf or ariray (pteronura brasiliensis). It lives, mainly in the great Pantanal and the Amazon River. Through which countries does it extend? By Peru, Brazil, Venezuela, Suriname, Guyana, French Guiana, Paraguay, Colombia, Bolivia and Ecuador. Sadly, although it lives in these areas of various countries, it is increasingly difficult to see it, since the categorization of its general condition is that of an animal in danger of extinction, both in Peru and in the rest of the countries. The giant otter is threatened despite being distributed in ten Amazonian nations. Nearly driven to extinction due to the fur trade, which was banned in 1975, the species currently faces several direct threats that prevent its full recovery. SOME OF THE THREATS ●HABITAT LOSS ●HABITAT DEGRADATION (FROM WATER POLLUTION) ●LOSS OF PREY BASE DUE TO OVERFISHING ● POACHING FOR THEIR FUR ●HUNTING BY FISHERMEN WHO VIEW THEM AS COMPETITORS ●INCREASED EXPOSURE DISEASES SUCH AS CANINE DISTEMPER.
