The Red Brocket Deer is a small, reddish-brown deer of tropical and subtropical forests that reaches the northern edge of its range in southern Mexico. It navigates dense jungle understory using its small, spike-like antlers to avoid entanglement in vegetation. Brocket deer are solitary and secretive, relying on their reddish coat for camouflage among fallen leaves.
