Mazama gouazoubira
Mazama gouazoubira, popularly known as deer-catingueiro, deer-vain, vire, virote, guaçutinga, guaçucatinga and guaçubirá, [3] is a small South American cervidae of the genus Mazama. The name Mazama simplicornis was widely used, as well as the name Mazama gouazoupira. Such names were used until the work of Philip Hershkovitz, of 1951, in which it recognized that the name given by Fischer was previous to the one given by Illiger. Hershkovitz also noticed that gouazoupira was the result of a misspelling. Although the name originates to be gouazoupira, the wide use of the name gouazoubira that became the official name of the species. The species occurs from the south of the Amazon region to the Uruguay and central region of Argentina occupying all the east of the pre-Andean regions until the Brazilian coast. It seems to avoid high forests, preferring areas of secondary forest, with high amount of shrub vegetation in the sub-forest, such as coves and edges of forest.
