Instead, the red brocket deer walks with its head held low, keeping its branchless, backward facing antlers out of the tangles of vegetation. If it took its cues from the white-tailed deer, it would walk about ten meters and get its antlers stuck. The red brocket deer on the other hand lives in thick jungle complete with dense vegetation and tangled vines. The white-tailed deer lives in open habitats where it walks around with its head held high, generally not getting those impressive antlers caught in the underbrush. Interestingly enough, where these two species of deer live and what their antlers look like are related. Finally, white-tails have large, branching antlers and red brocket deer have short, backward-facing, spiked antlers. White-tailed deer live in more open habitats while red brocket deer prefer thicker bush. White-tails are a light tan, while red brocket deer are generally a darker brown, even reddish-brown. White-tailed deer, averaging about 51 inches tall and 65 pounds, are larger than red brocket deer which come in at about 43 inches and 55 pounds. Since we’re all more familiar with the white-tailed deer, it may be helpful to explain the red brocket deer in comparison. It’s not a goat, but it is approximately goat-sized and has goat-like horns, so I get it. Cabro de monte translates to something like mountain goat, goat of the mountain or wild goat, all of which are inaccurate. You’d expect its Spanish name to be something like venado rojo but somebody threw a monkey wrench into the naming system and cabro de monte popped out. The red brocket deer is one of a handful of brocket deer species found in the Americas, but the only one found in Costa Rica. Now let’s take some time to learn about the other, lesser-known species, the red brocket deer. Flying Under the Radar: Wildlife Trafficking in the Air Transport Sector Flying Under the Radar is the most comprehensive report on wildlife trafficking in the air transport sector to date, analyzing ivory, rhino horn, reptile and bird seizures from airports worldwide between 2009-2016.Costa Rica is home to two species of deer.Food Security and Health Depend on Biodiverse Ecosystems Taylor Ricketts’ work focuses on the question: How do we meet the needs of both people and nature in an increasingly crowded, changing world?.But where does one begin a search for information when Google lets you down? It’s why policymakers, conservation champions, health practitioners and many others seek data and research to help them make important environmental decisions that have a huge impact on food security, global health, climate change, security and even human rights and good governance. That is, Earth’s natural environment provides for our well-being.
