Looks like a cross between a rabbit and small dear
The mara has short brown fur, a dark rump and white belly.
Mara occupy grassland and savannah where the climate is arid. They are found in areas of central and southern Argentina. Mara spend a large amount of time sunning themselves and are active during the day.
Maras live most of the year in pairs, and defend a home range of about 40 hectares and are rarely seen in larger aggregations except around water. In the breeding season about 15 pairs congregate at a communal den, dug by the females, although the individuals are still wary of each other and try to avoid meeting.
