White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

White-tailed Deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

After an amazing experience with a spectacled bear I was on my way to the main road when I noticed this deer feeding not far from the road. So well camouflaged that I had to repeatedly point to it so the others could see it. Elevation: 4077 meters

Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus)

Pampas deer (Ozotoceros bezoarticus)

This was my first steps on top of the Huanchaca Plateau (Caparú Meseta), and what a welcome! The deer just looked at me and went on chewing for some time, and then leisurely went away. Apparently it did not get our scent, and without it it I was perhaps just another animal? Altitude: 821 metres.
