Pampas deer

This species is found in the open field and savanna regions of South America, including Brazil (particularly in the Pantanal, Cerrado, and Pampas regions), Paraguay, Bolivia, Argentina, and Uruguay. It prefers natural grasslands, savannas, and cerrado areas, where it finds low-lying vegetation.

The pampas deer is a diurnal animal, usually seen in small groups or alone. They are extremely agile and fast animals, capable of running long distances to escape predators. They use their natural camouflage and discreet behaviors to protect themselves. However, during the breeding season, males become more territorial and competitive.

The pampas deer is a medium-sized cervid with light brown fur, lighter on the belly. Males have antlers that can reach up to 30 cm in length, branching into up to three points. They weigh between 20 and 40 kg and measure approximately 1.20 meters in length, with a height of about 70 cm at the withers. Their legs are long and slender, adapted for fast running.
