Feature
Male savannah deer have well-developed scent gland sacs on their hind legs
Details
The scientific name of the steppe deer is Ozotoceros bezoarticus, which is an endangered deer species unique to South America. In spring, they often gather in small groups of 3 to 5, and live alone or in pairs in winter. It is small and looks unremarkable. However, the male steppe deer has developed scent glands on its hind legs, and the scent is so strong that it can spread up to 1.5 kilometers. Perhaps for this reason, steppe deer are easily targeted by hunters.
