The Yucatan Brown Brocket (Mazama pandora) is a small species of deer native to the Yucatán Peninsula of Mexico, Belize and Guatemala.^[2] While it is found in humid tropical forest like most other brocket deer, the Yucatan Brown Brocket also ranges across arid, relatively open habitats.^[3] It has been treated as a disjunct subspecies of the Gray Brocket or a subspecies of the Red Brocket (Mazama americana).^[3]

Among others, the Yucatan Brown Brocket differs from both the Red Brocket and the Gray Brocket in the shape and measurements of the skull and antlers.^[3] It also differs from the Central American Red Brocket, which is locally sympatric with the Yucatan Brown Brocket, in its gray-brown, rather than overall reddish, color.^[3]
