The Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus) is a species of deer found in South America. It is a medium-sized deer with a distinctive reddish-brown coat and white spots on its legs and underbelly. The Pampas deer has large antlers that are used for defense and competition for mates.

The Pampas deer is found in grasslands, savannas, and other open habitats and is known for its ability to adapt to a range of environments. It is an herbivore and feeds on a variety of vegetation, including grasses, leaves, and shoots.

The Pampas deer is primarily active at dawn and dusk and is a social animal, living in small herds. It is known for its agility and speed and is capable of jumping over obstacles up to 6 feet high.

Pampas deer populations have declined in some areas due to habitat loss, hunting, and competition with livestock. The species is considered to be a game species in some countries and is hunted for its meat, antlers, and hide. Conservation efforts are underway in some areas to protect their habitats and preserve their populations, including measures to control hunting, promote sustainable land use practices, and support research and monitoring programs.
