Pampas deer
The Pampas Deer, venado de las Pampas or ''guazu ti'i, (Ozotoceros bezoarticus''), is a deer species from South America. It is found in Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Uruguay and Paraguay.
Pampas deer live only in open habitats, especially the Pampas and Cerrado. They are brown colored when adults. Adult males have narrow antlers with two or three branches and they also have scent glands on their hooves to mark their territories. Fawns are spotted.
It's considered to be a vulnerable species, according to CITES, appendix I. Cattle and sheep ranching on the Pampas has been the main cause of population decline.
