¿Quién soy?

I am a terrestrial mammal, ruminant, with crepuscular activity. My coat is grayish with brown hues. My chin is white, and I have a cream band on both sides of my mouth. The bottom of my tail is white, which I lift when I'm alert. Males of my species have distinctive antlers that can measure up to 60 cm.

¿De qué me alimento?

I am a selective plant consumer. I eat bushes, small trees, and occasionally seeds and fruits.

¿Dónde vivo?

I can live in a wide variety of habitats, from the vast forests of North America to deep swamps and grasslands in South America. You can find me from Canada to Peru.

Para que me conozcas mejor

Powerful antlers.

The males of my species have branched antlers or antlers with several endings. Depending on their age, they can measure up to 64 cm from the base, and they lose them annually after the mating season.
