Small red brocket

Mammals

The small red brocket, Mazama bororo, is a small species of brocket deer in the family Cervidae that is endemic to the Atlantic Forest of Parana, Santa Catarina and Sao Paulo in southeastern Brazil. It was described scientifically only in 1996. Its size and body structure most resemble those of the pygmy brocket, while its coloration is very similar to that of the red brocket, and it resembles hybrids between those two species even more closely. It differs from both, and from their hybrids, in its karyotype. Habitat loss threatens it, and the IUCN lists it as Vulnerable.
