Taruca
The taruca (''Hippocamelus antisensis''), or north Andean deer, is a species of deer native to South America. ==Description== Tarucas are medium-sized deer with heavy bodies. They measure from head to rump, with a tail, and stand tall at the shoulder. Adults weigh between . As with most deer, males are significantly larger than females. The hair is sandy brown over most of the body, with white patches on the underside of the head, neck, tail, and genital region, and on the inner surface of the fore-legs. While females often have a dark brown area on the forehead, facial markings are much clearer in the males. The exact patterns vary between different males, but in general there is a black behind the nose, and a black Y or V pattern over the forehead and snout.〔 Male tarucas have antlers, typically measuring in length once fully grown. Unlike all other South American deer, except for the closely related huemul, the antlers consist of just two tines, branching close to the base, and with the posterior tine being the larger. Males also possess canine teeth in their upper jaw, which females usually, but not always, lack.〔
