Once roaming South American grasslands by the tens of thousands, the Pampas deer now persists in scattered pockets of pampas and cerrado. Slim-built and alert, it grazes tender shoots at dawn and dusk. Farming, cattle and poaching have left it listed as Near Threatened by the IUCN.

Habitat: The Pampas Deer can be found in Argentina, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia
