Carnivores such as the puma, ocelot, and maned wolf are confronting major difficulties in Brazil. Not only is their habitat being destroyed but they also have to compete with free-ranging dogs. By contrast, the number of bare-faced curassows, a bird species that was once almost extinct in São Paulo, is increasing.
