However, being part of Order Carnivora doesn't mean they only eat meat. Both of these Carnivorans can eat an omnivorous diet consisting of both plants and other animals. This makes them highly adaptable to many different types of environments! #UrbanJungle #2018MMM
First Up Tonight we have #16 seeded Belo Horizonte Marmoset vs. #1 Harar Hyena! #2018MMM
Despite it’s long neck and loping stride, the spotted hyena (Crocuta crocuta) is not a cross between a bear + dog as some people claim. The family (Hyaenidae) is more closely related to cats than the dogs. Spotted hyena range over much of Africa #2018MMM iucnredlist.org/details/5674/0
Black tufted marmosets (Callithrix penicillata) are small new world monkeys (about 1.5 stoats/350 g). They live in family groups of 4-14 individuals in central Brazil and forage for fruit, flowers, leaves, young stems, tree resin, and insects #2017MMM citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/downlo…
