Yucatan brown brocket

Mammals

The Yucatan brown brocket, Odocoileus pandora, is a small species of deer native to Central America. It has been treated as a disjunct subspecies of the gray brocket or as a subspecies of the red brocket, and in 2021 the American Society of Mammalogists placed it in the genus Odocoileus. It differs from both of those species in the shape and measurements of its skull and antlers, and from the Central American red brocket, with which its range partly overlaps, in its gray-brown rather than overall reddish color. It is found in the Yucatan Peninsula of Mexico, in Belize and in Guatemala, in humid tropical forest and also in arid and relatively open habitats.
