The patagonian mara, (also known as the Patagonian cavy or dillaby) is a medium sized rodent in the species Mara (Dolichotis). It looks somewhat like a cross between a rabbit and a deer. They are related to the Capybara. It is monogamous, meaning that it has only one mate in its life. Their habitat ranges from shrubland to deserts. I never knew about this animal before I researched about it and I thought it was a rare or threatened animal. After researching, however, I found that it was in Near Threatened.
Diet
Patagonian maras are herbivorous animals. They eat herbs and grasses and various vegetables. If they live in the desert, they also include cacti in their diet. Grasses make up for 70% of their diet.
