説明 | A Patagonian mara sitting pretty in his sandpit enclosure in the Emirates Park Zoo near Abu Dhabi. The Mara is found only in Argentina. Maras prefer to live in habitats with lots of shrub cover. However they also inhabit over-grazed and barren soils in the Monte Desert biome. In northwestern Argentina the Mara primarily inhabits lowland habitats . Maras prefer sandy and low shrub habitat in Valdes Peninsula. The species has adapted well to a cursorial lifestyle on the open plains and steppe, with its long legs, reduced clavicle and well-developed sensory organs making it capable of running and communicating in these open habitats. When running, Maras have been compared to deer and antelope. (Emirates Park Zoo, Samha, Abu Dhabi, Jan. 2015) |
