Patagonian mara (mara patagónica) seen in Talampaya National Park

The Patagonian mara (Dolichotis patagonum) is a relatively large rodent in the mara genus Dolichotis, known in Spanish as mara patagónica, liebre patagónica and liebre criolla. This herbivorous, somewhat rabbit-like animal is found in open and semiopen habitats in Argentina, including large parts of Patagonia. It is monogamous, but often breeds in warrens shared by several pairs.

Status:
Patagonian maras are considered to be a near threatened species. Historically, maras have ranged from north-central Argentina south almost to Tierra del Fuego. Nevertheless, maras have been greatly affected by hunting and habitat alteration and have been extirpated in some areas, including Buenos Aires Province. Mara skins have been used for bedspreads and rugs.
