 Pampas Deer mounted on blue card |
Special Price - End of Range
These small deer inhabit the grasslands of South America. They live alone or in small groups, grazing mainly at dusk and hiding in daytime amongst the long grasses. Females – which carry no antlers – will feign injury to lure hunters away from their single young. But the pampas deer have become endangered by uncontrolled hunting, and this tile as well as illustrating an attractive animal represents yet another species that we may be about to lose for ever... Alfred Waterhouse, the 19th century architect of London’s Natural History Museum, designed a wonderful range of decorative bas relief panels which can still be seen both inside and outside the museum. This wall decoration is based on one of these.
