Red brocket — size comparison — facts and sources

The red brocket uses dense vegetation in tropical and subtropical forests. Cover, access to food and proximity to water matter in this environment. It inhabits various forest types.

Fruit found on the forest floor is important in its diet. It supplements this with leaves and other plant parts, and with fungi when fruit is scarce. Changing resources mean that food composition does not remain constant throughout the year.

It usually leads a secretive, solitary life. It may be active by day or night. In danger it uses dense cover, freezes or flees; it can also enter water.
