[1] It is listed as Near Threatened on the IUCN Red List as habitat conversion and destruction may cause the population to decline in the future. [2] It is named after the Pampas, but occurs in grassland, shrubland, and dry forest at elevations up to 5,000 m ...

[ 8 ] Critics object that since there were multiple glacial advances and withdrawals in the evolutionary history of many of the megafauna, it is rather implausible that only ...
