Parque Jaime Duque 2012

Mérida Brocket (Mazama bricenii)

The main reason I visited this Zoo!
Wow man, you are so lucky to see such an AMAZING and rare new world deer, only one european zoo has ever had Merida brockets and that zoo was the London Zoo, on a side note, did you know that Merida brockets were thought to be a subspecies of the Little red brocket
 
Based on genetic and morphological research Merida brocket are likely the same as Little red brocket and at best a separate subspecies, Skull analysis revealed no differences and genetically Merida brocket are nested within Little red brocket.
