Patagonian Mara feeds the young

The Patagonian Mara resembles a very large and well-fed Bunny, growing up to 1 meter in length with good nutrition. In the wild, they are very cautious and timid animals that avoid any contact with humans in every possible way. Once in captivity at a young age, the Patagonian Mara is easily tamed and even attached to its owner. The Patagonian Mara is also called the pampas or Patagonian hare.
Many native American tribes keep Mar as Pets. Patagonian Maras live in Argentina, Uruguay and Brazil on the grassy plains of the pampas. The most numerous is the Argentine population. Animals settle in thickets of tall grass or near the forest outskirts, where they can easily find shelter from enemies.
Pumas, Grisons, and South American foxes are the biggest threats to the Patagonian Mar. Patagonian Maras have excellent vision and hearing. At the slightest danger, they run for their lives, resembling running deer and antelopes. On vacation, they can sit on their hind legs or roll on their sides like cats. In winter, animals are only active during the day. In other seasons, they can graze at night.
Their diet consists exclusively of plant foods. Their favorite treats are cereals, legumes, quinoa and fruits.
In natural conditions, the animals form monogamous married couples, but live in small colonies. Spouses remain faithful to each other until the death of one of the partners. Up to 30 married couples can live in one colony together with their offspring.
Mary breed in the period from August to January. The gestation period lasts about 100 days. Offspring are born most often before the start of the dry season. Within a few hours after their birth, they can run relatively briskly together with their parents and peers, and after a day they begin to try a little vegetable food. For the first three weeks of their life, babies spend most of their time in common burrows, and then they start grazing with the entire herd.
They become fully independent in 2.5-3 months.
