Marsh deer occur in almost all of the area sampled. The population was estimated as 36,314 (+-4,923) individuals. The highest densities were found to the north and northeast of Uberaba Lake, and in the inundation area of Negro River in the southeast of the Pantanal. There is no evidence of a decline in the marsh deer population in the Pantanal since 1974.  aBrazil  aPantanal  aBlastocerus Dichotomus  aAerial survey  aBrasil  aCervo  aLevantamento aereo  aMarsh deer1 aMOURAO, G. de M.1 aCOUTINHO, M.
