PERUVIAN GUEMAL (Mazama antisiensis). 



Together with the closely allied Chilian guemal {M. bisulcd], this 

 species constitutes a group characterised by the antlers forming a 

 single fork. There is no gland-tuft on the hind cannon-bone, the 

 short tail is rather bushy, and the hair coarse and brittle. 



Distribution. The high Andes, from Peru to Northern Chili.
