brocket deer

The coat color can vary (brown or greyish); the light spot over the eyes is a characteristic that disappears in some individuals.

The brown deer is a deer with a tendency _____ solitary life, gathering only to mate. Habitat loss and hunting are the main causes for the population decline, which is driving the brown deer towards extinction.
