Mérida brocket
Species of deer / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Mérida brocket (Mazama bricenii), also known as the Meroia brocket or rufous brocket,[2][3] is a small species of deer. It is found in forest and páramo at altitudes of 1,000–3,500 metres (3,300–11,500 ft) in the Andes of northern Colombia and western Venezuela.[2] It was once treated as a subspecies of the similar little red brocket, but has been considered a distinct species since 1987,[1] though as recent as 1999 some maintained it as a subspecies.[4]
