Mérida brocket

Mammals

The Mérida brocket, Mazama bricenii, also known as the Meroia brocket or the rufous brocket, is a small species of deer. It lives in forest and paramo at altitudes of 1,000 to 3,500 metres in the Andes of northern Colombia and western Venezuela. It was once treated as a subspecies of the similar little red brocket, and has been considered a distinct species since 1987, although as recently as 1999 some authors still kept it as a subspecies. The IUCN lists it as Vulnerable.
