(F. Cuvier, 1817)

The Amazonian brown brocket (Mazama nemorivaga), also known as the small brown brocket, is a small species of deer that is almost entirely restricted to South America.[1][2]

Distribution and habitat

[edit]

It is known from Panama (in Isla San José of the Pearl Islands only; endemic subspecies M. n. permira), Colombia, Venezuela, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, eastern Ecuador, eastern Peru, Brazil and possibly northern Bolivia.[1] Habitats it is found in include primarily nonflooded Amazonian tropical rainforest, and locally also tropical deciduous forest and xeric shrublands, at altitudes up to 1,500 metres (4,900 ft).[1] However, reports from the latter habitats may actually represent M. gouazoubira.[1]

Breeding

[edit]

Breeding occurs year-round in some areas, with births tending to be concentrated in the rainy season.

Threats

[edit]

It is threatened by deforestation and by diseases spread by cattle, but not particularly by hunting.[1]

Taxonomy

[edit]

It is sympatric with the larger M. americana over much of its range (the latter tends to have significantly higher population densities), and reportedly also with M. gouazoubira in a few areas. It was considered a subspeciesofM. gouazoubira, with which it is parapatric, until 2000.[1][3][4] Under normal viewing conditions it is not easily distinguished from M. gouazoubira, but unlike M. americana it is gray-brown overall with paler underparts.[3]

Hybrids with Mazama gouazoubira

[edit]

The occurrence of hybrids between the two species are documented.[5]
