| Description |
English: Collared Peccary (Pecari tajacu) Collared peccaries can be found in tropical rainforests but in recent years they have become quite common in some residential areas, where they rely on human handouts for food. Often confused with pigs because of their similar appearance, the animals have a shoulder height of 30 to 50 centimetres and a grizzled grayish coat with a yellow to white collar.
http://animaldiversity.ummz.umich.edu/site/accounts/information/Pecari_tajacu.html After closure of the old Cromer Zoo > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/838872 in 1983, the new Zoo Park - called 'Amazona' - has finally opened its doors on 28th June 2007. It had taken two years to transform the ten acres of neglected woodland - surrounding an abandoned brick factory > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/883179 and kilns > https://www.geograph.org.uk/photo/883218 - into a zoo which now is home to a wide range of animals from tropical South America such as jaguar, otters, spider monkeys and flamingos. All the animals have come from other British zoos, none are imported from the wild. The zoo is expected to attract 50,000 visitors a year, and comes 25 years after the resort's previous zoo shut. The zoo has been developed by Ken Sims, owner of Thrigby Hall Wildlife Gardens near Great Yarmouth. |
