The dwarf brocket, called Subulo chunyi in current usage and Mazama chunyi in older lists, and also known as the chunyi, is a small deer native to the Andean highlands of western Bolivia and southeastern Peru, where it lives in forest and paramo. Its coat is reddish-brown with dark grey on the forequarters and neck, the underparts are lighter brown, and the muzzle is short and thick. It weighs about 11 kilograms. It is a little-studied species of brocket deer, and the IUCN considers it Vulnerable. Research in the forests of Bolivia has expanded the known localities and modelled its distribution, and found that as much as 40 percent of its habitat was degraded or fragmented, while the rest remained in good condition.
