South America's considerable cervid diversity belies their relatively recent arrival. The presence of camelids in South America but not North America today is ironic, given that they have a 45-million-year-long history in the latter continent (where they originated), and only a 3-million-year history in the former. Family: Tayassuidae (peccaries)
A member of this family is called a deer or a cervid. They are widespread throughout North and South America, Europe, and Asia, and are found in a wide variety of biomes. Cervids range in size from the 60 cm (24 in) long and 32 cm (13 in) tall pudú to the 3.4 m (11.2 ft) long and 3.4 m (11.2 ft) tall moose.

The Alaska moose (Alces alces gigas), or Alaskan moose in Alaska, or giant moose and Yukon moose in Canada, is a subspecies of moose that ranges from Alaska to western Yukon. The Alaska moose is the largest subspecies of moose. [1] Alaska moose inhabit boreal forests and mixed deciduous forests throughout most of Alaska and most of Western ...
The Western moose [2] (Alces alces andersoni) is a subspecies of moose that inhabits boreal forests and mixed deciduous forests in the Canadian Arctic, western Canadian provinces and a few western sections of the northern United States. It is the second largest North American subspecies of moose, second to the Alaskan moose.
A mongoose is a small terrestrial carnivorous mammal belonging to the family Herpestidae.This family has two subfamilies, the Herpestinae and the Mungotinae.The Herpestinae comprises 23 living species that are native to southern Europe, Africa and Asia, whereas the Mungotinae comprises 11 species native to Africa.

South America is the continent with the largest number of recorded bird species. [3] Additionally, speciation has occurred at a higher rate in South America than in other parts of the world. [1] This is likely due to the large amount of land mass close to the equator.
Sometimes the species Alces alces is divided into two separate species - European and American moose (A. americanus). [3] The American moose, contrary to its name, includes all subspecies of moose, except European and Caucasian moose, which belong to the European moose. The presence of two modern species in the genus remains controversial.
