. Sven: From what I remember, the "mouse deer" we are referring too belong to genetic stock that once ranged from Virginia down through Florida (where some still exists in the Everglades) to the Bahamas, Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Virgins...as well as Yucatan and...obviously, Central America. I'll check my references and see if i can come up with the correct genus and species...but they are quite clearly not the White Tail deer of the Eastern United States today...I'll get back to you on this after talking with a friend of mine in the Biology Dept. here at the University. All the best...dke Sven Zörner wrote: > Sehr geehrter Sven Sven, > Dear Sven Sven, > > Monday, January 20, 2003, 10:11:21 PM, you wrote: > > > Dear All, > > > final i found it: > > > The scientific name of the on Bay Islands so called mouse deer is > > Odocoileus virginianus, the official name in english is "White tail > > deer", the official spanish name is "venado cola blanco". > > > The term mouse deer is somehow ambigious, because there are > > already other animals called mous deer which seem to live > > only in Indonesia and are at least no "deers" at all, because they are > > rather big rodents. > > > I would like to see the fotos, too.
