Brocket deer are a group of small to medium-sized deer species found in the forests of Central and South America. There are several species of Brocket deer, including the Red Brocket, the Dwarf Brocket, and the Little Brocket.

Brocket deer have a reddish-brown to grayish-brown coat and are known for their short stature and small antlers (in males). They are primarily nocturnal and are known to live in dense forests, where they feed on a variety of vegetation, including leaves, shoots, and fruit.

Brocket deer are generally solitary animals, but they may form small groups during the mating season. They are also known for their vocalizations, including barks, grunts, and whistles, which they use to communicate with other members of their species.

Due to habitat loss and hunting, several species of Brocket deer are considered to be endangered or vulnerable. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their habitats and preserve their populations. This includes measures to control hunting, promote sustainable forestry practices, and support research and monitoring programs.
