Perro

This is the short eared dog found in the Amazon, Orinoco and Parana Basins, Venezuela, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia.   It lives in the tropical rainforests and moves very lightly on its feet.  It is a very elusive, shy dog that avoids people.  It has half webbed feet and eats fish, and berries and is carnivorous.   The males are smaller than the females and the males are loners who are quickly excluded from the all female pack once they have mated.  This dog is only about a foot high!
