Pampas Deer - 6.5x6.5 inches $235.00 AVAILABLE
Ozotoceros bezoarticus Status: Vulnerable in Brazil. As a result of expansion of agriculture, habitat has been greatly reduced. The Tupi people living in the Amazonian jungles of Brazil are wary and respectful of the forest spriit called Anhangá. Anhangá has the form of a white deer with glowing eyes, and is known as the protector of forest life and in particular, animals with young. When a hunter’s prey eluded him, or mysteriously vanishes just as it is about to be caught, people say that Anhangá must have been protecting the creature.
