Marsh deer Blastocerus dichotomus

Marsh Deer Blastocerus dichotomus

Formerly found in much of tropical and subtropical South America, today it is largely reduced to isolated populations at marsh and lagoon zones in the Paraná, Paraguay, Araguaia and Guapore river basins. They are swift swimmers. The marshes with their high vegetation density protect them from predators and provide them with food. The majority of their diet is aquatic plants.
