A rare taruca/taruga (a.k.a north Andean huemul-Hippocamelus antisensis) from the Vilcabamba in Cusco. We usually only find these deer at very high altitudes (4700-5000 meters). These two seemed bigger than the ones we find in Ancash (although that might just be because they were closer). Taruca are not tame at all and generally won't let you anywhere near them, but these seemed genuinely curious about me.
