摘要:The marsh deer Blastocerus dichotomus (Illiger,
1815) is the largest cervid species in South
America. Females and males weight up to 100 kg
and 130 kg respectively. The species inhabits
marshlands and riparian habitats (Eisenberg and
Redford 1999; Nowak 1999; Pinder and Grosse
1991). The reddish body pelage and the blackish
distal parts of the limbs are important diagnostic
characters of the species. Male specimens have
impressive branched antlers, which may exceed
10 tips (Duarte 1996; Figure 1).
