The Yucatan Brown Brocket (Mazama pandora) is a small species of deer native to the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala. While it is found in humid tropical forest like most other brocket deer, the Yucatan Brown Brocket also ranges across arid, relatively open habitats. It has been treated as a disjunct subspecies of the Gray Brocket or a subspecies of the Red Brocket (Mazama americana).
Among others, the Yucatan Brown Brocket differs from both the Red Brocket and the Gray Brocket in the shape and measurements of the skull and antlers. It also differs from the Central American Red Brocket, which is locally sympatric with the Yucatan Brown Brocket, in its gray-brown, rather than overall reddish, color.
Famous quotes containing the word brown:
“Although the stupid, unthinking world may approve what you have done, in your heart you know that, but for your treachery, the boy you loved would be alive today. If anyone is responsible for his death, you killed him, and for that murder you will live and die in the contempt and loathing of your own heart.”
—Karl Brown (1897–1990)
