Red Brocket Deer (Mazama Americana) [local name: Deer]

Few studies have been made of this shy creature, yet red brocket deer are known to be both diurnal and nocturnal in their habits. They are solitary animals and do not form herds. Females usually give birth to a single fawn, although twin births are also quite common. Mothers hide their fawns in the undergrowth of the forest floor, returning regularly to nurse them.
