The Andean Deer, also known as the Huemul, is a medium-sized deer native to the mountainous regions of South America. It primarily inhabits the forests and grasslands of the Andes mountains, particularly in Chile and Argentina. This species is known for its distinctive antlers, which are typically found only in males, and its brownish-gray fur that helps it blend into its natural environment. Andean Deer are herbivores, feeding on a variety of plants, including grasses and shrubs. They are considered a vulnerable species due to habitat loss and hunting. Conservation efforts are underway to protect their populations and preserve their natural habitats in the Andes.
