Mazama temama
Description
Mazama temama (Kerr, 1792) Material examined. Table 2; Figure 30.
Mazama temama is a small, reddish brown deer having a rounded body with arched back and slim legs and neck (Reid 2009). In the eastern portion of the study region M. temama is almost sympatric with M. pandora Merriam, 1901 (Medellin et al. 1998). The main differences between these species are their size and color (larger and a paler in M. pandora) (Reid 2009). In previous studies, Mazama spp. were observed at very low abundance in the wetlands of Campeche (Contreras-Moreno et al. 2016). We only have 1 photograph of Mazama spp. in our study, and recorded a second record of a deer killed by a subsistence hunter. Both individuals were identified as M. temama by their reddish-brown fur.
