The Yucatan brown brocket is a small species of deer native to Central America.
Taxonomy
It has been previously treated as a disjunct subspecies of the gray brocket (Mazama gouazoubira) or a subspecies of the red brocket (M. americana).[2] In 2021, the American Society of Mammalogists placed it in the genus Odocoileus.[3]
Description
Among other features, the Yucatan brown brocket differs from both the red brocket and the gray brocket in the shape and measurements of the skull and antlers.[2] It also differs from the Central American red brocket (M. temama) which is locally sympatric with the Yucatan brown brocket, in its gray-brown, rather than overall reddish, color.[2]
Distribution and habitat
It is found in the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala.[4] While it is found in humid tropical forest like most other brocket deer, the Yucatan brown brocket also ranges across arid, relatively open habitats.[2]
