The little red brocket or swamp brocket (Mazama rufina), also known as the Ecuador red brocket,[2] is a small, little-studied deer native to the Andes of Colombia, Ecuador and northern Peru, where found in forest and páramo at altitudes between 1,400 and 3,600 metres (4,600 and 11,800 ft).[1] It is one of the smallest brocket deer. The coat is reddish, and the legs and crown are blackish.[3] As recently as 1999, some authorities included both the pygmy brocket (M. nana) and Merida brocket (M. bricenii) as subspecies of the little red brocket.[4]
The little red brocket may have formed an important part of the diet of the people of the Pleistocene Las Vegas culture.[5]
