Identification.
This is the most common cervid in the dry forests of lowland
Bolivia
. Its overall color is grayish brown with the mid-back and outer side of legs a little darker and the throat, neck and venter grayish and lighter. It is smaller than Red Brocket Deer,
Mazama americana
(Erzleben, 1777)
(
13–23 kg
vs
17–30 kg
), which shows a reddish-brown coat overall with a contrasting whitish throat. Red Brockets do occur in the region but are rarer (
Rivero et al. 2005
), limited to taller forest, and were not recorded in this survey.
