Where do pecceries live?

Your question could mean what is the range of the peccary, or you could mean what is the habitat of the peccary. I'll try to answer both. There are 3 species of peccary. The collared peccary ranges from the SW United States (TX, NM, AZ) south through Central America, to northern Argentina in South America. The white-lipped peccary ranges from Central Mexico to Argentina. The Chacoan peccary lives in region overlapping Argentina, Bolivia, and Paraguay in South America. In general, peccaries dwell in dry areas of low brush or intermittent forests, where they can forage on fruits, leaves, stems, nuts, and roots. They need thick, dense foliage in a good portion of their habitat for protection from heat and concealment from predators. They also need a permanent source of water. In the US, collared peccaries are most numerous in desert areas where two of their staple foods, cacti and mesquite, are prevalent.
