The gray brocket, called Subulo gouazoubira in current usage and Mazama gouazoubira in older lists, and also known as the brown brocket, is a species of brocket deer from northern Argentina, Bolivia, southern Peru, eastern and southern Brazil, Paraguay and Uruguay. Unlike other brockets in its range it has gray-brown fur without reddish tones, and it measures 85 to 105 centimetres in body length and 11 to 25 kilograms in weight. It lives in brushy vegetation and forest edge, avoiding both open ground without cover and dense forest, and it ranges through semiopen regions such as the Gran Chaco, Cerrado and Caatinga. It is the most common deer in Brazil, although hunting and habitat loss are reducing it in parts of Argentina and Paraguay.
