South America's largest deer, the marsh deer uses long legs and splayed hooves to wade through flooded grasslands of the Pantanal and Iberá. Shy but vital, it trims wetland plants and spreads seeds. Habitat loss and poaching keep the species on the IUCN Vulnerable list.

Habitat: The Marsh Deer can be found in Argentina, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Peru
