種 智利馬駝鹿 H. bisulcus 秘魯馬駝鹿 H. antisensis 馬駝鹿（学名：Hippocamelus），又稱駱鹿，是鹿科下的一屬動物。其下有兩個瀕危的物種：智利馬駝鹿及秘魯馬駝鹿。牠們的身體粗壯，四肢短小。夏天時，牠們會棲息在高海拔的地方，隨著冬天的來臨而逐步下移至森林河谷。牠們是草食性的，主要吃草本植物、莎草科及地衣等。 智利馬駝鹿分佈在智利及阿根廷。牠們是群居的，群落數量視乎情況而定，一般為2-3頭，有時多達11頭，但以往可以超過100頭。群落主要為雌鹿及幼鹿，雄鹿是獨居的。 秘魯馬駝鹿分佈在秘魯及玻利維亞的高地雲林及沒有樹的高山荒原。牠們棲息在海拔2500-5200米的地方。牠們的群落組織較鬆散，成員約有3-14頭，當中1-2頭雄鹿及幾頭雌鹿。[1]牠們在日間活動，一般壽命為10年。牠們現正處於易危。[2] 馬駝鹿自1976年就已處於瀕危，其主因是砍林、棲息地分散、入侵物種及被獵殺。 馬駝鹿與安地斯神鷹是智利的國家動物。 參考 ^ Roe and Rees.

Hippocamelus is a genus of Cervidae, the deer family. It comprises two extant Andean and two fossil species. The living members are commonly known as the huemul (from the Mapuche language), and the taruca, also known as the northern huemul.
Both species have a stocky, thick, and short-legged body. They live at high altitudes in the summer. Though Taruca spend their whole life cycle at these high altitudes, especially as populations close to the equator, southern Huemul move down the mountains in the fall and spend the winter in sheltered forested valleys.
